radiation
waves or particles propagating through space or through a medium, carrying energy
cosmic radiation
high-speed, i.e. high-energy particle, mainly originating in outer space, outside the Solar system
electromagnetic radiation
form of energy emitted and absorbed by particles which are charged which shows wave-like behavior as it travels through space
gravitational wave
propagating spacetime ripple
gamma ray
electromagnetic radiation of high frequency and therefore high energy
incandescence
emission of electromagnetic radiation (including visible light) from a hot body as a result of its temperature
ionizing radiation
radiation that carries enough energy to liberate electrons from atoms or molecules
X-ray
electromagnetic radiation of wavelength ranging from 10 pm to 10 nm
synchrotron radiation
electromagnetic radiation emitted when charged particles are accelerated radially
annihilation radiation
radiation resulting from particle-antiparticle collisions
solar radiation
electromagnetic radiation received from the Sun
delta ray
secondary electron with enough energy to escape a significant distance away from the primary radiation beam and produce further ionization
black-body radiation
thermal electromagnetic radiation
particle beam
stream of charged, or less frequently neutral, particles
particle radiation
fast-moving particles with energy
