Radiation

Radiation is energy that travels and spreads out from a source in the form of waves or particles. This energy can move through space or through a material medium.

When something gives off energy that can move to other places — like light from the Sun, heat from a fire, radio waves from a broadcast tower, or X-rays used in medical imaging.

There are two main types:

  • Non-ionizing radiation
  • Ionizing radiation
