Definition of Radiation
Radiation can be define as energy which
emitted in form particle or wave.

Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) is a form of energy that is

produced by oscillating electric and magnetic disturbance, or by the
movement of electrically charged particles traveling through a vacuum
or matter. Example : gamma rays, infrared rays, radio
waves, ultraviolet rays, visible light, and X-rays.
Particles Radiation
Particle radiation is radiation
in form of particles that have
a mass, for example particle
beta, alfa, and netroun.

Based On Ability Of Ionizing

Non-ionizing Radiation

Ionizing Radiation
Non-Ionizing Radiation
• Non-ionizing radiation is the term given to
radiation in the part of the electromagnetic
spectrum where there is insufficient energy to
cause ionization.

• These are all non-ionizing forms of radiation:

Visible light, radar, laser light, and ultraviolet
light also fall into this radiation category.

• Non-ionizing radiation has lower energy, too

much of it may still affect our health.

Types of Radiation in the
Electromagnetic Spectrum

 Alpha Rays

The Basics
1. What are the properties of an alpha rays ?
A particles of alpha rays is identical to a
helium nucleus having two protons and two
neutrons. It is a relatively heavy, with a
positive charge of +2 from its two protons.
 Beta Rays

The Basics
1. What are the properties of beta rays ?
Particles of beta rays have an electrical
charge of -1. Beta particles have a mass of
549 millionths of one atomic mass unit, or
AMU, which is about 1/2000 of the mass of a
proton or neutron.
 Gamma Rays

The Basics
1. What are the properties of gamma rays ?
Gamma rays have high penetrating power, have
no mass and no electrical charge they are pure
electromagnetic energy.

Nature of Radiation
 Radiation Can’t Be Detected By
Human Senses

Radiation can’t be detected by human

senses, so it is necessary to recognize a
detection tool called a radiation
detector.
 Radiation Interact

Radiation can interact with the material that passes

through the process of ionization, excitation and
others.
By using these properties are then used as the basis
for making the radiation detector.

The Natural Council On Radiation Protection And Measurement published a
study in 2009 that found that nearly half of the radiation to which the US
population is exposed comes from medical sources such as CT scans, x-rays,
and nuclear medicine.

Cosmic (Space) Radiation

Outer space is full of various types of radiation, such as heavily charged
particles and gamma rays. Fortunately, Earth has an atmosphere that helps
absorb and filter them out, which protects us from high doses of cosmic
radiation. However, some radiation is able to make it through.

Radon
You cannot see it, smell it, or taste it, but radon is the leading source of
natural radiation exposure and the second leading cause of lung cancer.
Where does it come from? Well, usually from soil, but it is found
everywhere.

Terrestrial Radiation
The Earth itself is a source of terrestrial radiation. Radioactive
materials (including uranium, thorium, and radium) exist naturally in
soil and rock. In addition, water contains small amounts of dissolved
uranium and thorium, and all organic matter (both plant and animal)
contains radioactive carbon and potassium.
