effects of EM radiation

• radiation is an energy in the form of electromagnetic waves or particulate matter, traveling in the air
• radiation is classified into ionizing and non-ionizing
• Ionizing radiation is a type of radiation that is able to disrupt atoms and molecules on which they pass through giving rise to ions free radicals
• ionizing radiation has higher em waves or heavy particles and has high enough energy to pull from orbit
• non-ionizing radiation has lower energy em waves. not enough energy to pull electron from orbit, but it can excite the electron
• Time , Distance , Shielding are the three principles for radiation safety
• electromagnetic radiation - light is a natural agent that stimulates sight and make things possible. It is a type of energy
