Radiation is a process in which a body emits energy that propagates through a medium or through empty space, but is absorbed by other bodies. Radiation may also refer to: == Physics == Electromagnetic radiation, radiation that takes the form of a self-propagating wave of electric and magnetic fields, Particular wavelength bands of full electromagnetic spectrum, such as gamma rays, radio waves, visible light Thermal radiation, electromagnetic radiation that emanates from every object above absolute zero in proportion to the fourth power of its temperature Synchrotron radiation (also called a synchrotron light source), electromagnetic radiation generated by the acceleration of fast moving charged particles through magnetic fields Gravitational radiation, radiation that takes the form of gravitational waves, or ripples in the curvature of spacetime.
