What type of radiation causes electromagnetic fields?

  1. Nonionizing radiation

  2. Ionizing radiation

  3. Alpha radiation

  4. Beta radiation

The correct answer is: Nonionizing radiation

Electromagnetic fields are caused by non-ionizing radiation, which is a type of radiation that does not have enough energy to remove electrons from atoms. Alpha and beta radiation are forms of ionizing radiation, which have enough energy to remove electrons and are therefore not responsible for electromagnetic fields. In contrast, non-ionizing radiation, such as radio waves and visible light, are the main sources of electromagnetic fields.
