The two names of radiation are ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation has enough energy to ionize atoms and molecules, while non-ionizing radiation does not have enough energy to remove electrons from atoms.
Ionizing radiation is a physical stressor, as it can cause damage to biological tissues by disrupting the structure of atoms and molecules. HCV and HBV are viruses that can cause infections in the body, but they are not physical stressors in the same way that ionizing radiation is.
Natural background radiation
The three different types of ionizing radiation are alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays.
No, photoluminescence does not produce ionizing radiation. It mainly involves the emission of photons (light) when a material absorbs photons of higher energy and re-emits them at a lower energy level. This process does not involve the emission of ionizing radiation.
Yes, alpha radiation is an ionizing radiation.
Yes, radiation can be classified as either ionizing or non-ionizing. Ionizing radiation has enough energy to remove tightly bound electrons from atoms, leading to the formation of ions. Examples of ionizing radiation include X-rays, gamma rays, and certain types of nuclear radiation.

"Ionizing" means that it can convert atoms and molecules into ions. In other words, it can knock off one or more electrons.
Radiation can excite an electron sufficiently for the electron to leave the atom, thus having an ionizing effect.
No electromagnetic radiation, whether ionizing or not, is affected by an electric field or by a magnetic field.
