Cherenkov radiation is when a charged particle passes through a medium faster than the speed of light in that medium.

Chekhov radiation is when radiation is discovered in act one, and kills someone by act three.

No-one's really sure if Schrödinger radiation actually exists, and Murphy's radiation only seems to be detectable after a lethal dose.
