Radiation is the emission and transmission of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves or subatomic particles. It can be ionizing, such as X-rays and gamma radiation, capable of releasing electrons from atoms, or non-ionizing, like radio waves and visible light.
Radiation is present in various forms, from natural sources like the sun to technological applications such as medical radiation therapy.
Understanding and managing radiation are essential for addressing its benefits and risks in medicine, industry, and other fields.
