Assertion: ionizing radiation's energy | /r/HasProperty | low
Facets:
Source sentences:
text: The energy of particles of non-ionizing radiation is low, and instead of producing charged ions when passing through matter, non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation has only sufficient energy to change the rotational, vibrational or electronic valence configurations of molecules and atoms.
text: Radiation exists across a spectrum from very low-energy (low-frequency) radiation to very high-energy (high-frequency) radiation.
text: Non-ionizing radiation is low energy and some argue that it is safe for that reason.
text: Irradiation with X-rays, gamma rays, or electrons does not make materials radioactive, because the energy used is too low.
text: The energy of electromagnetic radiation is determined by its frequency; ionizing radiation is high frequency, and therefore high energy, whereas non-ionizing radiation is low frequency, and therefore low energy.
text: There are many types of radiation, ranging from very high-energy (high-frequency) radiation – like x-rays and gamma rays – to very low-energy (low-frequency) radiation – like radio waves.
