Nonparticulate radiation lacks mass and charge, existing purely as "packets" of energy called photons.
Lower-energy waves that lack the power to ionize atoms but can cause thermal effects. nonparticulate radiation
Responsible for sunburns and used in sterilization. , more commonly referred to as electromagnetic radiation
, more commonly referred to as electromagnetic radiation , consists of energy waves rather than physical particles. Unlike particulate radiation (such as alpha or beta particles, which have mass), nonparticulate radiation is composed of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that travel at the speed of light. Key Characteristics Used for communication (cell phones, Wi-Fi) and heating food
Frequently used in medical imaging to view internal structures.
