Radition is:
energy that comes from a source and travels through space and may be able to penetrate various materials. Light, radio, and microwaves are types of radiation that are called nonionizing. The kind of radiation discussed in this document is called ionizing radiation because it can produce charged particles (ions) in matter.
Ionizing radiation is produced by unstable atoms. Unstable atoms differ from stable atoms because unstable atoms have an excess of energy or mass or both. Radiation can also be produced by high-voltage devices (e.g., x-ray machines).
Atoms with unstable nuclei are said to be radioactive. In order to reach stability, these atoms give off, or emit, the excess energy or mass. These emissions are called radiation. The kinds of radiation are electromagnetic (like light) and particulate (i.e., mass given off with the energy of motion). Gamma radiation and x rays are examples of electromagnetic radiation. Gamma radiation originates in the nucleus while x rays come from the electronic part of the atom. Beta and alpha radiation are examples of particulate radiation.
Interestingly, there is a "background" of natural radiation everywhere in our environment. It comes from space (i.e., cosmic rays) and from naturally occurring radioactive materials contained in the earth and in living things.
Dictornary:
- energy that is radiated or transmitted in the form of rays or waves or particles
- the act of spreading outward from a central source
- radiation sickness: syndrome resulting from exposure to ionizing radiation (e.g., exposure to radioactive chemicals or to nuclear explosions); low doses cause diarrhea and nausea and vomiting and sometimes loss of hair; greater exposure can cause sterility and cataracts and some forms of cancer ...
- the spontaneous emission of a stream of particles or electromagnetic rays in nuclear decay
- the spread of a group of organisms into new habitats
- a radial arrangement of nerve fibers connecting different parts of the brain
- radiotherapy: (medicine) the treatment of disease (especially cancer) by exposure to a radioactive substance

What is infrared radition?
Infrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation with longer wavelengths than visible light. It is commonly associated with heat and is used in various applications such as thermal imaging, remote controls, and infrared saunas.
Can you get hurt from infrared radition?
Infrared radiation does not penetrate deep into the body and typically only affects the skin. Prolonged exposure to high levels of infrared radiation can cause skin burns and damage, similar to sunburn. It is important to avoid excessive exposure to infrared sources and follow safety guidelines.
How was microwave radition discovered?
Microwave radiation was discovered by physicist Percy Spencer in 1945. He noticed that a candy bar in his pocket melted while working with a magnetron, a vacuum tube that generates microwaves. Spencer then conducted further experiments using popcorn and an egg, leading to the development of the first microwave oven.
How do you prevent conduction convection and radition?
To prevent conduction, use materials with low thermal conductivity. To prevent convection, minimize temperature differences within a space by using proper insulation and sealing gaps. To prevent radiation, use reflective barriers or absorptive coatings that block or reduce the transfer of radiant heat.
What is radition mean?
Radiation refers to the emission of energy in the form of waves or particles. It can be classified into ionizing radiation (such as X-rays and gamma rays) and non-ionizing radiation (such as visible light and radio waves). Exposure to high levels of ionizing radiation can be harmful to human health, causing damage to cells and DNA.
