WHAT DOES IRRADIATE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Irradiation

Irradiation is the process by which an object is exposed to radiation. The exposure can originate from various sources, including natural sources. Most frequently the term refers to ionizing radiation, and to a level of radiation that will serve a specific purpose, rather than radiation exposure to normal levels of background radiation. The term irradiation usually excludes the exposure to non-ionizing radiation, such as infra-red, visible light, microwaves from cellular phones or electromagnetic waves emitted by radio and TV receivers and power supplies.

Definition of irradiate in the English dictionary

The first definition of irradiate in the dictionary is to subject to or treat with light or other electromagnetic radiation or with beams of particles. Other definition of irradiate is to expose to electromagnetic radiation to kill bacteria and retard deterioration. Irradiate is also to make clear or bright intellectually or spiritually; illumine.
