Radiation simple def

Radiation can be defined as the emission or transmission of energy in the form of waves or particles. It is a process in which energy is released from a source and travels through space or a medium. Radiation can be categorized into different types such as electromagnetic radiation (e.g., light, radio waves, X-rays) and particle radiation (e.g., alpha particles, beta particles, neutrons). These forms of radiation have varying properties and can interact with matter in different ways. Radiation is commonly encountered in everyday life, such as through sunlight, electronic devices, and medical procedures.
