Nonparticulate Radiation Instant

Highly penetrating radiation often used in cancer treatment or emitted during radioactive decay.

Nonparticulate radiation lacks mass and charge, existing purely as "packets" of energy called photons. nonparticulate radiation

It travels in a wave-like pattern and can move through a vacuum, such as outer space. Highly penetrating radiation often used in cancer treatment

Lower-energy waves that lack the power to ionize atoms but can cause thermal effects. nonparticulate radiation

High-energy waves that can strip electrons from atoms, potentially causing DNA damage.

Frequently used in medical imaging to view internal structures.

Used for communication (cell phones, Wi-Fi) and heating food. What is Radiation? - International Atomic Energy Agency
