A simple example of radiation is to turn on a light-bulb, and bring your hand close to it. The closer your hand gets, you begin to feel the heat from the light bulb. This is radiated heat energy. As soon as you turn on the light-bulb, even before you bring your hand close to it, you SEE it, because of the electromagnetic radiation in the VISIBLE range that leaves it.
Another example of radiation can be a lava lamp. Radiation is the whole reason how a lava lamp works.
Also there is ultraviolet, visible, infrared, gamma, microwave, X, alpha, beta, etc.
Some you should be familiar with:
Some you might not know about:
There are also types of radiation that are not electromagnetic, but are subatomic particles instead:
X-rays and gamma rays are examples of radiation. X-rays are commonly used in medical imaging, while gamma rays are emitted in nuclear reactions and radioactive decay.
The four popular forms are: gamma - which is high energy photons of light, beta - which are high energy electrons, alpha - which are high energy nuclei of helium, and neutrons.
There are many different types of radiation, going from radiowaves, to lightwaves, and even to gamma rays!
i need this one to answer give an example of radiation
Campfire, Candle, Sun, Microwave, Light Bulb, Car.
well, here are some examples of radiation: the sun, fire, popcorn, heat waves, Geothermal energy, and boiling eggs
Radiation could be non ionizing radiation (as sun rays, mobile electromagnetic waves) or ionizing radiation (as X rays, gamma rays, beta and alpha radiations)
Heat and light.
Examples of somatic radiation damage include skin burns and cataracts caused by exposure to ionizing radiation.
Two examples of mutagens are ultraviolet radiation, which can cause changes in DNA by creating thymine dimers, and certain chemicals like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons found in cigarette smoke, which can interact with DNA and cause mutations.
X-rays and gamma rays are the two types of radiation that can pass through a sheet of card due to their high energy and penetrating abilities.
Polonium-210 primarily emits alpha radiation, which consists of two protons and two neutrons. This type of radiation has a low penetrating power and is highly ionizing, making it hazardous if ingested or inhaled.
Nonionizing radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation that does not have enough energy to remove electrons from atoms or molecules. Examples include visible light, radio waves, microwaves, and infrared radiation. Nonionizing radiation is generally considered less harmful than ionizing radiation, although prolonged exposure to certain types like UV radiation can still pose health risks.
Examples of somatic radiation damage include skin burns and cataracts caused by exposure to ionizing radiation.
Irritation or damage to the skin caused by radiation exposure: two examples are sun burn and beta burns.
Two examples of infrared waves are heat radiation emitted by the human body and infrared sensors in TV remotes.
Natural background radiation
Two examples of ultraviolet waves are UVA (long-wave ultraviolet) and UVB (short-wave ultraviolet). UVA radiation can penetrate deeper into the skin and is associated with skin aging, while UVB radiation is responsible for sunburn and can contribute to skin cancer.
A banana is a non-example of radiation.
Two examples of infrared waves are heat radiation emitted by a fire and the heat you feel from the sun on your skin.
