Radiation

Radiation is a process of emission of energy or particles. Various forms of radiation may be distinguished, depending on the type of the emitted energy/matter, the type of the emission source, properties and purposes of the emission, etc.

RADIATION BY TYPE OF EMISSION

Electromagnetic Radiation , a stream of Photon s.

--- Gamma Radiation , which is high-energy Electromagnetic Waves .

Gravitational Radiation , a predicted consequence of General Relativity .

Particle Radiation , radiation by means of particles that have a Rest Mass .

--- Alpha Radiation , composed of the Nuclei of Helium-4 atoms.

--- Beta Radiation , consisting of energetic Electron s or Positron s.

--- Neutron Radiation

RADIATION BY SOURCE/CAUSE OF EMISSION

Particle:

--- Delta Radiation

--- Epsilon Radiation

E/m:

--- Cherenkov Radiation , electromagnetic radiation by a particle moving through an insulating medium faster than the Speed Of Light in that medium.

--- Synchrotron Radiation , radiation by a Charged Particle undergoing Acceleration .

--- Solar Radiation , radiation emitted by the sun.

--- Thermal Radiation , emission of electromagnetic radiation by a hot object

--- Hawking Radiation , thermal radiation thought to be emitted by Black Hole s due to Quantum Effect s.

RADIATION BY PROPERTIES OF EMISSION

Ionizing Radiation , radiation with sufficient energy to cause ionization.

Non-ionizing Radiation , radiation that does not carry enough energy to directly cause ionization.
