School of Physics and Technology of University of Kharkiv now being carried by the department. The department is considered to be the most difficult department at the school. Students of the department study special courses on elementary particles, quantum electrodynamics, general relativity, astrophysics, theoretical nuclear physics, solid-state theory, and plasma physics. In addition, the professors of the department teach most of the bachelors-level mathematics and theoretical physics courses at the school. The department was created in 1937 by Anton Valter. The name of the department changed several times: "Department of Physics of the Atomic Nucleus", "Department of Physics of the Atomic Nucleus and Electronics", "Department of Electronic Processes", "Department
Radiation Radiation In physics, radiation is the emission or transmission of energy in the form of waves or particles through space or through a material medium. This includes: Radiation is often categorized as either ionizing or non-ionizing depending on the energy of the radiated particles. Ionizing radiation carries more than 10 eV, which is enough to ionize atoms and molecules, and break chemical bonds. This is an important distinction due to the large difference in harmfulness to living organisms. A common source of ionizing radiation is radioactive materials that emit α, β, or γ radiation, consisting of helium nuclei, electrons or
