Because they are radioactive, radon and radon progeny emit alpha particles, a high-energy radiation that damages DNA in human cells and causes lung cancer. When radon is inhaled, particles become lodged in the lungs where they continue to emit alpha particles. ...
Astrophysicists define gamma radiation as any radiation with an energy above 100 keV. Physicists define gamma radiation as high-energy photons released by nuclear decay. Using the broader definition of gamma radiation, gamma rays are released by sources including gamma decay, lightning, solar flares,...
Irradiate is a technical term primarily used in contexts such as medicine and food preservation, where it describes the process of exposing something to radiation to kill bacteria or alter substances. Radiate, on the other hand, is often used to describe how light, heat, or energy spreads outwa...
