Differences between Ionizing and Non-Ionizing Radiation 

Differences between Ionizing and Non-Ionizing Radiation

Ionizing

1) Ionizing radiation has a high energy

2) Ionizing radiation can emit electrons or other particles from atoms

3) Ionizing radiation is non-electromagnetic radiation

4) Examples: Alpha, Gamma, X-rays

5) Ionizing radiation has a shorter wave-length

6) Ionizing radiation has high penetrating power

Non-Ionizing

1) Non-Ionizing radiation has less energy than ionizing radiation

2) Non-Ionizing radiation can not emit but excite electrons from ground level to a higher level

3) Non-Ionizing radiation is electromagnetic radiation

4) Examples: UV rays, Visible Microwave, Radio Waves

5) Non-Ionizing radiation has a longer wave-length

6) Non-Ionizing radiation has low penetrating power
