When studying or working with radiation, it's crucial to follow established safety procedures and guidelines to minimize exposure and potential health risks. Additionally, consulting reputable sources and organizations dedicated to radiation safety is essential for accurate and up-to-date information.
Ionizing Radiation: This type of radiation has enough energy to remove tightly bound electrons from atoms, resulting in the formation of charged particles (ions). Ionizing radiation can be harmful to living organisms and includes:
X-rays and Gamma rays: These are high-energy forms of electromagnetic radiation commonly used in medical imaging and industrial applications.
