The radiation emitted covers the entire electromagnetic spectrum and the intensity of the radiation (power unit-area) at a given frequency is described by Planck's law of radiation
- Radiation | Definition, Types, Effects, Facts | Britannica
All matter is constantly bombarded with radiation of both types from cosmic and terrestrial sources This article delineates the properties and behaviour of radiation and the matter with which it interacts and describes how energy is transferred from radiation to its surroundings

Radiation is energy that travels in the form of waves or particles and is part of our everyday environment People are exposed to radiation from cosmic rays, as well as to radioactive materials found in the soil, water, food, air and also inside the body
- What is Radiation? - International Atomic Energy Agency
Radiation is energy that moves from one place to another in a form that can be described as waves or particles We are exposed to radiation in our everyday life Some of the most familiar sources of radiation include the sun, microwave ovens in our kitchens and the radios we listen to in our cars
- What is Radiation? - UCSF Radiology
