text: These types of radiation do not carry enough energy to cause ionization and are called non-ionizing radiation.
text: Ionizing radiation may be in the form of either electromagnetic waves or particles; however, it must have sufficient energy to cause ionization in the target molecule.
text: Lower energy radiation (e.g., radio waves, visible light) has insufficient energy to cause ionization.
text: Non-ionizing radiation is the term given to radiation that has insufficient energy to cause ionization.
text: Ionizing radiation may be in the form of either electromagnetic waves or particles; however, it must have sufficient energy to cause ionization in the target molecule.
text: Although the energy per kilogram in 1 rad is small, it has significant effects since the energy causes ionization.
text: When radiation deposits enough energy in organic tissue to cause ionization, this tends to break molecular bonds, and thus alter the molecular structure of the irradiated molecules.
text: Ionizing radiation refers to types of radiation that carry enough energy to cause ionizations in atoms.
text: Nonionizing radiation refers to types of radiation that do not have enough energy to cause ionizations in atoms.
text: In terms of electromagnetic radiation, photons of low-energy ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, microwaves and radio waves do not have enough energy to cause ionizations.
text: Ionizing radiation carries enough energy to cause ionizations in atoms.
text: Nonionizing radiation does not carry enough energy to cause ionizations.
