Any wave has an associated particle, and vice versa. However, at very low energies - such as radio waves - the wave nature stands out more; the particle nature is hard to detect in such a case.

How is ultraviolent radiation dangerous?
Ultraviolet is ionising radiation. That means that it will ionise (turn into ions) some substances due to being a high energy form of electromagnetic radiation. If these 'substances' happen to be in your skin then you can start to see how UV radiation can be bad.
Which type of barriers can gamma particle penetrate through?
Gamma radiation is highly penetrative, and can pass through many substances without stopping. Several centimetres of lead or several meters of concrete is required to dissipate gamma radiation.
Infrared radiation is what type of energy?
Infrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic energy
Does gamma ray ionise the air?
yes
What type of radiation is easiest to shield?
Alpha radiation

Which type of radiation is most penetrating in solid substances?
Gamma radiation
What is a radioactivity substances?
Substances that emit ionizing radiation
What are the types of electromagnetic radiation commonly used to identify substances?
You could conceivably used any type of radiation to identify substances however the most commonly used ones are the Ultra-violet as they produce fluorescence in the visible range.
How is radiation therapy administered?
Radiation therapy is delivered via external radiation or via internal radiation therapy (the implantation/injection of radioactive substances).
Exposing certain substances to radiation is known as?
irradiation
What happens when there are harmful substances in the environment?
Radiation
What substances used in radiology that emit radiation?
radionuclides
Why seawater can corrode five times faster than freshwater?
It is mainly because sea water contains salts which ionise. It is these ionised particles that react with metallic substances and cause corrosion.
