02TypesofRadiation

1ElectromagneticRadiation23Non-ionizingradiation:豁免辐射，不会导致原子或分子产生电离作用豁免辐射的频率范围包括：豁免辐射的频率范围包括极低频到毫米波段，不会导致原子或分子产生电离作用豁免辐射的生物学效应：豁免辐射的生物学效应包括热效应、非热效应和电磁场对细胞信号转导的影响

Alphaparticles带正电的氦核，由放射性原子核衰变产生带负电的高能电子，也由放射性原子核衰变产生电磁波，波长短于0.1nm，由放射性原子核衰变产生不带电的中性粒子，能量高时可由核反应产生ParticleRadiationBetaparticlesGammaraysNeutronparticl…

Atomicnuclei:原子核能级跃迁或裂变时释放的高能辐射Alphaparticles:由放射性原子核衰变产生的氦核Betaparticles:由放射性原子核衰变产生的电子Gammarays:由放射性原子核衰变产生的电磁波Neutronparticles:中子不带电，不受库仑力作用，可直接穿透物质，具有很强的穿透能力IonizingRadiation
