What is the definition of radiation?

Radiations are electromagnetic waves or particles that propagate with a certain speed. They contain energy, electrical and magnetic charge. They can be generated by natural sources or by man-made devices. They have variable energy from small to very high values.

Among the main examples of ionizing radiation, we have:

  • Alpha radiation: it is composed of two protons and two neutrons and has low penetrating power.
  • Beta radiation: is formed by an electron and has penetrating power in relation to alpha, gamma and X-ray radiation.
