dc.description6TH INAUGURAL LECTURE DELIVERED BY PROF. AGBALAGBA, E.O
dc.description.abstractPhysics is a branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. It has several branches. It is declined as the science that deals with the structure of matter and the interactions between the fundamental constituents of the observable universe (Einstein's 1926 Britannica essay on space-time). It dwells more in the course of this lecture on Radiation Physics, as it affects and relates to the environment, human health, and radiation protection. The term "radiation" can be defined as the energy that is emitted as electromagnetic waves or particles and travels through the atmosphere or a material medium. Radiation is felt when we work in the field on a sunlit day, or when we stay by the fireside. Radiation is energy that moves from one place to another in a form that can be described as waves or particles. The word "radiation" arises from the phenomenon of waves radiating (i.e., traveling outward in all directions) from a source. This aspect leads to a system of measurements and physical units that apply to all types of radiation. Radiation is a natural phenomenon of emission of energy in the form of electromagnetic that obeys Pauli's exclusive principle, travels through space or medium, and impacts man and the environment. Radiation is always around us all the time, and as such, man is constantly exposed to it. This exposure has influenced our survival, reproduction, and evolution.
