Radiation Sources in Our Community
Radiation is energy that comes from a source and travels at the speed of light through space. This energy has wave-like qualities and is coupled with an electric and magnetic field. Radiation is sometimes known as "electromagnetic waves." In nature, electromagnetic radiation covers a wide spectrum of frequencies. One example is visible light.
Ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, and gamma rays are examples of high-energy radiation.
When X-rays and gamma rays interact with atoms, they can remove electrons and cause the atom to become ionized since they have so much energy. Protons and neutrons in radioactive atoms are unstable mixtures.
The spontaneous release of energy from an unstable atom to get to a more stable state is known as radioactivity.
