1. radiation is invisible
2. travels in a straight line
3. neutral charge
4. cant taste, touch or feel it
5. absorbed in high atomic numbers
6. has ability to have biological changes
7. can be made fluoresce or give off light
8. heterogenous (different wavelengths)
9. Poloyenergetic (many different energies)
10. can not be focus by mirrors or lens (will go right through)
11. affect photographic film
12. become ionize (knock off electrons)

• Measured from crest to crest
• long wavelength are more harmful (absorb)
• short wavelengths penentrate

• measured by number of ups or downs on wavelength
• as frequency gets lower wavelength increase (bigger, longer)
• as frequency decreases wavelength increase (shorter)

• 186,000 mi per second
• 3 x10⁸ m/sec
• 3 x 10¹⁰ cm/sec
