Ionizing radiation is radiation with enough energy that to remove tightly bound electrons from the orbit of an atom, causing that atom to become charged or ionized.
Here we are concerned with only one type of radiation, ionizing radiation, which occurs in two forms: waves or particles.
There are several forms of electromagnetic radiation, which differ only in frequency and wavelength:
heat waves
radio waves
infrared light
visible light
ultraviolet ligh
