| calor transmitido por radiación | radiation heat |
| daño de radiación | radiation damage |
| daño de radiación | radiation damage Somatic and genetic damage to living organisms caused by exposure to ionizing radiation |
| dosis de radiación | radiation dose The total amount of radiation absorbed by material or tissues, in the sense of absorbed dose, exposure dose, or dose equivalent |
| exposición de radiación | radiation exposure |
| exposición de radiación | radiation exposure The act or state of being subjected to electromagnetic energy strong enough to ionize atoms thereby posing a threat to human health or the environment |
| física de radiación | radiation physics |
| física de radiación | radiation physics The study of ionizing radiation and its effects on matter |
| la intensidad y calidad de las radiaciones X depende del voltaje de aceleración | the intensity and quality of the X-radiation are dependent on the accelerating voltage |
| las radiaciones ionizantes actúan sobre un organismo por transferencia de energía | the ionising radiations reacted on an organism by a transfer of energy |
| radiaciones debidas al fondo natural de radiación | exposure to natural background radiation |
| radiación adaptante | adaptive radiation |
| radiación beta | beta radiation |
| radiación beta | beta radiation Name given to the ionizing radiation which is produced as a stream of high speed electrons emitted by certain types of radioactive substance when they decay. The intensity of radiation energy produced in human tissue by a beta particle is a hundred times less than that produced by an alpha radiation particle, but it travels slightly deeper into tissue |
| radiación cósmica | cosmic radiation Radiations consisting of atomic nuclei, especially protons, of very high energy that reach the earth from outer space. Some cosmic radiations are very energetic and are able to penetrate a mile or more into the Earth |
| radiación gamma | gamma radiation Radiation of gamma rays |
| radiación infrarroja | infrared radiation Electron magnetic radiation whose wavelengths lie in the range from 0.75 or 0.8 micrometer to 1000 micrometers |
| radiación ionizante | ionising radiation Radiation that is capable of energizing atoms sufficiently to remove electrons from them. In this state atoms become more reactive, so that ionizing radiation increases chemical activity and in this way produces biological effects, including effects that involve alterations induced in DNA. X-rays and gamma-rays are the only electromagnetic waves that cause ionization in biological material |
| radiación luminosa | light radiation |
| radiación no ionizante | non-ionising radiation Radiation that does not change the structure of atoms but does heat tissue and may cause harmful biological effects |
| radiación policromática | polychromatic radiation |
| radiación solar ultravioleta | ultraviolet solar radiation |
| radiación solar ultravioleta | ultraviolet radiation |
| radiación ultravioleta | ultraviolet radiation The part of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths shorter than light but longer than x-rays; in the range of 4-400 nm |
