What is the difference between Ionizing Radiation and Non-ionizing Radiation?

Radiation is the process where waves or energy particles (e.g. Gamma rays, x-rays, photons) travel through a medium or space. Radioactivity is the spontaneous nuclear transformation that results in the formation of new elements.

What is the difference between Ionizing Radiation and  Non-ionizing Radiation?

• Ionizing radiation has high energy than the non-ionizing radiation.
• Therefore, ionizing radiation can emit electrons or other particles from atoms when they collide. However, non-ionizing radiation can only excite electrons from a lower level to a higher level upon encountering.
• UV, visible, IR, microwave and radio waves are categorized as non-ionizing radiation, whereas alpha, gamma, and X rays can be categorized as ionizing radiation.
