Radiation is valid Scrabble Word

Definitions for RADIATION in dictionary:

NOUN:
• heat transport without the intervention of matter, as in the transport of heat from the Sun to the Earth
• the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles, especially high-energy particles which cause ionization.
• the energy transmitted by radiation
• divergence out from a central point, in particular evolution from an ancestral animal or plant group into a variety of new forms
• transmission of energy from one body to another
• The act of radiating, or the state of being radiated; emission and diffusion of rays of light; beamy brightness.
• The shooting forth of anything from a point or surface, like the diverging rays of light; as, the radiation of heat.
• energy that is radiated or transmitted in the form of rays or waves or particles
• the act of spreading outward from a central source
• syndrome resulting from exposure to ionizing radiation (e.g., exposure to radioactive chemicals or to nuclear explosions); low doses cause diarrhea and nausea and vomiting and sometimes loss of hair; greater exposure can cause sterility and cataracts and some forms of cancer and other diseases; severe exposure can cause death within hours
• the spontaneous emission of a stream of particles or electromagnetic rays in nuclear decay
• the spread of a group of organisms into new habitats
• a radial arrangement of nerve fibers connecting different parts of the brain
• (medicine) the treatment of disease (especially cancer) by exposure to a radioactive substance
OTHER DEFINITIONS:
• the action or process of radiating; the process of emitting radiant energy in the form of waves or particles; the combined processes of emission, transmission, and absorption of radiant energy; the transfer of heat by radiation — compare conduction, convection
