Fundamentals of Ionizing Radiation

Ionizing radiation is any type of particle or electromagnetic wave that carries enough energy to ionize an atom or molecule, meaning it can completely remove an electron from its orbit. This process changes the atom's chemical properties and can lead to cellular damage.

There are two main categories of ionizing radiation:
