Which of the following are ionizing waves
radiowaves
Microwaves
X rays
There are two types of radiation, one has do do with electomagnetic waves that travel through the air and the other has to do with nuclear unstablilty due to unstable istopes called radioisotopes
True
False
Electromagnetic radiation is often harmless and we are exposed to it often
True
False
Radiation that has enough energy to remove an electron from an atom is considered dangerous and is called nonionizing radiation.
True
False
