Explore the various types of radiation, such as alpha, beta, gamma, and X-rays, including their characteristics, sources, and applications in different fields.
Types of Radiation: Ionizing Radiation High-energy radiation that can ionize atoms by removing electrons. Can cause damage to cells and tissues, increasing the risk of cancer. Examples include gamma rays, X-rays, and some types of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Non-ionizing Radiation Lower-energy radiation that does not have enough energy to ionize atoms. Generally considered less harmful than...…
