radiation and electromagnetic fields
Radiation refers to the emission or transmission of energy in the form of waves or particles. Electromagnetic fields (EMF) are a type of radiation produced by electrically charged particles and are characterized by their electric and magnetic components. These fields are present in various forms such as radio waves, microwaves, visible light, and X-rays, and are produced by both natural sources (like the sun) and human-made sources (like electronic devices).
