Subtopics
- Electromagnetic wave [r]: A change, periodic in space and time, of an electric field E(r,t) and a magnetic field B(r,t); a stream of electromagnetic waves, referred to as electromagnetic radiation, can be seen as a stream of massless elementary particles, named photons. [e]

- Frequency [r]: For a periodic (i.e., repeating) phenomena, the number of repetitions per unit of time, usually one second; measured in Hertz [e]
- Photon [r]: elementary particle with zero rest mass and unit spin associated with the electromagnetic field. [e]
- Wavelength [r]: For a repeating phenomenon such as a radio signal with a given frequency, the wavelength is the length, in meters, of a single repetition [e]
- Acute radiation syndrome [r]: Disease or death caused by whole-body irradiation, over a short period of time, with a significant quantity of penetrating radiation [e]
- Boson [r]: elementary particle with integral spin; composite system consisting of an even number of fermions. [e]
- Bremsstrahlung [r]: Electromagnetic radiation produced by the acceleration of a charged particle, such as an electron, when deflected by another charged particle, such as an atomic nucleus. [e]
- Carrier wave [r]: In electromagnetic signal transmission, the basic information-free signal onto which information is modulated. [e]
