Hypertonic
Physical methods:
Radiation
Energy in the form of waves
Nonionizing
Ionizing
Physical methods:
Radiation:
Nonionizing
Does not cause ionization of water or other atoms, causes pyrimidine dimers to form
Ex. UV light
Physical methods:
Radiation:
Ionizing
Does cause the ionization of water and other atoms
Ex. X-Ray, gamma rays
