Radiation And How Advanced Gauging Technologies Uses It
Radiation is a process in which energetic particles or waves travel through a medium or space. The energy released can take one of two forms. The first form is referred to as electromagnetic radiation and includes radiation like sunlight, radar and radio waves. This form of pure energy contains no weight and is considered non-ionizing […]
