Definition of Radiation

Radiation is the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as particles. There are two main types of radiation: ionizing and non-ionizing. Ionizing radiation has enough energy to remove electrons from atoms, potentially damaging cells and increasing the risk of cancer. Non-ionizing radiation has less energy and cannot ionize atoms, but it may still have biological effects.

Context of usage for Radiation

• Radiation from the sun, such as UV rays, can damage skin cells, leading to sunburn.
• In medical applications, radiation like X-rays is used to diagnose illnesses, but excessive exposure can lead to health risks.
