| hi VSP, thank you for your question.... Basically, there are two types of radiation, ionizing and non-ionizing. Ionizing radiations carry enough energy to break chemical bonds and separate electrons from the parent atoms and molecules, thereby creating ions in the irradiated material. Radiation with less energy than that required to produce ions in the irradiated material, is called non-ionizing radiation. The examples for this is Ultraviolet radiation (except the high energy end of the UV-spectrum), visible light, infrared radiation, micro waves and radio waves, are all non-ionizing. Hope that answers your question! Do keep visiting Buzzle for added features on several articles!
