Abstract
Terahertz frequency spectroscopy (1012 Hz) has its application in Tele-communication, Medical, Security and it is also an extension of microwave and millimeter wave bands. Those cells in the human body which have selective wavelength interaction when exposed to terahertz frequency will absorb, reflect or scatter light that is based on tissue water content. Therefore it is essential to ensure safety limits for its radiation exposure in tissue. Monte Carlo simulation method is being used to find dosimetry calculations for terahertz frequency radiations. This method is applicable for normal and cancer tissue. The final result is plotted graphically for number of frequencies and compared with each other in terms of variation parameters such as diffuse reflectance, diffuse transmittance and photon probability fluence in order to know about the difference absorption and reflectance in the photon penetration at skin layers in these regions in human cells or biological tissue
