Radiation Awareness Training Quiz

What is the main difference between non-ionizing radiation and ionizing radiation?

• Non-ionizing radiation has higher energy levels than ionizing radiation.

• Non-ionizing radiation is only found in outer space, while ionizing radiation is found on Earth.

• Non-ionizing radiation is harmful to humans, while ionizing radiation is not.

• Non-ionizing radiation does not have sufficient energy to dislodge orbital electrons, while ionizing radiation does.

Which of the following is an example of non-ionizing radiation?

• Gamma rays
