Electromagnetic radiation is common in living organisms. One example is infrared radiation (heat) given off by warm bodies. And we know that critters like sharks can sense magnetic fields generated electromagnetically by other critters they are searching for.

What media does radiation occur in?

Radiation can occur in various types of media such as air, water, soil, and even living organisms. It can also travel through space in the form of electromagnetic waves. The presence of radiation depends on the specific source and type of radiation being emitted.


What is the fundamental source of electromagnetic radiation?

The fundamental source of electromagnetic radiation is the acceleration of charged particles. When charged particles are accelerated, they create changing electric and magnetic fields that propagate as waves through space, resulting in electromagnetic radiation.


What is intense radiation?

Intense radiation refers to high levels of electromagnetic waves or particles emitted from a source. This can include forms of radiation such as gamma rays, X-rays, or energetic particles like protons or electrons. Exposure to intense radiation can have harmful effects on living organisms and materials.


What is our main source of electromagnetic energy?

The sun is the main source of electromagnetic energy that reaches Earth. This energy is emitted in the form of electromagnetic radiation across a wide spectrum, from visible light to ultraviolet and infrared radiation.


What object moves outwards in all directions from its source?

Is electromagnetic radiation weaker when you are further from the source?

Yes, electromagnetic radiation weakens as you move further away from the source because it follows the inverse square law, which means the intensity of radiation decreases with the square of the distance from the source. So, the further you are from the source, the weaker the radiation will be.


What does the term radiation mean?

Radiation is a term used for any energy or energetic particles that flow out from a source of energy or energetic particles. Your body when in an area colder than 98.6 degrees, F, radiates infrared energy. (Heat).
