Radiation

Radiation can be described as the energy in the form of a particular matter or electromagnetic waves traveling in the air and can be in the form of light, sound, and heat. Radiation can be detected through special instruments like X-rays. The radiation from a cooler object is less intense as compared to the radiation from hot objects.
