In physics, radiation is a process in which energetic particles or energy or waves travel through a medium or space. There are two distinct types of radiation; ionizing and non-ionizing. The word radiation is commonly used in reference to ionizing radiation only (i.e., having sufficient energy to ionize an atom), but it may also refer to non-ionizing radiation (e.g., radio waves, heat orvisible light). The energy radiates (i.e., travels outward in straight lines in all directions) from its source. This geometry naturally leads to a system of measurements and physical units that are equally applicable to all types of radiation. Both ionizing and non-ionizing radiation can be harmful to organisms and can result in changes to the natural environment.

How does color affect radiation and absorption?
light colors are lightss becos the reflect more profdoff PHD scientist
What does the lonizing radiation sign mean?
Radiation is typically emitted from an energy source. Ionizing radiation means that the radiation has enough energy to bond to an atom. This causes the atom to become charged.
