the energy radiated or transmitted in the form of rays, waves, or particles. A stream of particles or electromagnetic waves that is emitted by the atoms and molecules of a radioactive substance as a result of nuclear decay, And also Radiation is energy that travels in the form of waves or high-speed particles. It occurs naturally in sunlight. Man-made radiation is used in X-rays, nuclear weapons, nuclear power plants and cancer treatment. If you are exposed to small amounts of radiation over a long time, it raises your risk of cancer.

What can one do to protect oneself from background radiation?
Background radiation come from black body radiation which is mostly infrared and microwave. Background radiation is not harmful at all. Fear from background radiation come from confusion of the word radiation where we mostly concern nuclear radiation, but light is also a form of radiation and we live within the bright day light on a normal basis.
What types of radiation should you be worried about?
The most dangerous type of radiation is Nuclear radiation which is the one that should be most worried about.
What is a packet of electromagnetic radiation called?
The packet of electromagnetic radiation is the photon.
Good things about radiation?
Chemo radiation kill cancer cells.
How is a bonfire an example of radiation?
Radiation is energy that is transmitted in the form of rays, waves or particles. Bonfires give off light and heat radiation.
What term best describes light?
Electromagnetic radiation.
Which best describes adaptive radiation?
Biodiversity resulting from few ancestors.
What is the term for biodiversity that results from ancestral species?
This describes adaptive radiation.
What is the term for biodiversity that results from new ancestral species?
Adaptive radiation is the term for biodiversity that results from few ancestral species.
Is there a difference between radiation and nuclear radiation?
Yes, radiation is a broader term that refers to the emission and propagation of energy through space or a material medium. Nuclear radiation specifically refers to the particles and electromagnetic radiation emitted from the nucleus of an atom, typically during a nuclear reaction such as radioactive decay or nuclear fission.
Which phrase describes blackbody radiation?
Light given off by an object based on its temperature
What best describes adaptive radiation?
Biodiversity resulting from few ancestors, APEX LEARNING
Which term best describes how the earth's atmosphere is heated?
m
What describes the word sun?
bright ball of burning gas warming the the earth and giving off radiation
What Physics theory describes radiation of energy from a substance as discontinuous?
emissions spectrum?? do more research to conclude
What best describes the primary wavelength of radiation emitted by Earth's surface?
they are longer than those emitted by the sun.
What pair of terms best describes light waves traveling from the sun to earth?
Electromagnetic and transverse.
