WHAT IS RADIATION ?

 

 

Radiation is all around it rains down from outer space and leaks out of the ground and form the walls of building it is almost totally natural only 13% of the radiation does that people receive in Britain for example comes from artificial sources and most of that in is in medical uses much less come from the burning of coal the testing of nuclear weapons and only 0.1 person of the total comes from radioactive waste and effluent but what is radiation?

Now we first learn  about 

Alpha ,beta and gamma radiation.


The term radiation can refer to electromagnetic waves from Gamma Rays and radio waves or two energetic sub atomic particles however the common use and especially in the context of the radiation protection the term refers more specifically to ionizing radiations in other words radiation that loss energy by ionizing atoms knocking electrons out of them or sometimes even by disrupting atomic nucleic search radiation can be electromagnetic or it can consist of particles the particle component includes the alpha rays Helium nucleic two protons and two neutrons and beta Ray electrons emitted in Radioactive decays as well as Showers of cosmic Ray particles generated in the atmosphere by primary or cosmic  ray from outer space speaking only charge particles because the basic reaction is due to electrical force between the charge particle and the atomic electrons but some natural particles and particular neutrons and x-ray and gamma rays at the high energy into the electromagnetic spectrum are in directly ionizing because the produce charge particle when they interact with matter.

 


How radiation  causes or harm ? 

Radiation causes damage when it Knocks electron out of the atoms left creating positive ions the electrons can then attached to other neutral atom and create negative ions .
