Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ultraviolet rays from the sun and x-rays that are used in dental and medical procedures are ionizing radiation. This type of radiation has enough energy to ionize atoms and molecules, which can cause DNA damage and increase the risk of cancer. Nonionizing radiation, on the other hand, is lower energy and includes things like radio waves, microwaves, and visible light. Alpha waves and low-frequency waves are not types of radiation.
