What is Radiation:- Radiation is the term used for the traveling of the energy particles and energy waves from one place to another. There are two types of radiation, one is ionized; that may have so much high energy that can pass through atom and other is non-ionized it is the visible waves of radiation or light. However, radiation is usually used for ionize radiation. Energy coming out of its source travels in straight lines to all the directions. The ionized radiation from x-rays, gamma-rays and atom-bomb's blast is more dangerous, due to being in higher quantity damages tissues. However, both the ionized and non-ionized radiation is harmful for living organisms and the environment.
