The phenomenon of radiation is spread energy in the form of electromagnetic waves or subatomic particles through a vacuum or a material medium.
radiation propagated in the form of electromagnetic waves (X-rays, UV rays, etc.). called electromagnetic radiation , while corpuscular radiation is radiation transmitted in the form of subatomic particles (α particles, neutrons, etc..) moving at high speed in a medium or a vacuum, with significant energy transport.
If the radiation carries enough energy to cause ionization in it crosses, is said to be a ionizing radiation . If we talk about non-ionizing radiation. The character ionizing or non-ionizing radiation is independent of corpuscular or wave nature.
rays are ionizing radiation X-ray γ, and α particles, among others. Moreover, as UV radiation and radio waves, TV or mobile telephony are examples of non-ionizing radiation.
