Yes:
- microwaves can cook you without you even noticing heat
- IR radiation can cause burns
- UV radiation can cause sunburns and skin cancer
- X-rays can cause radiation sickness, cancers, anemia, and death
- gamma rays can cause radiation sickness, cancers, anemia, and death
No:
- microwaves can cook your food quicker and more efficiently than the stove
- IR radiation from the Sun can keep you warm
- UV radiation creates Vitamin D and can help sterilize things
- X-rays can help doctors diagnose injury and illness
- gamma rays can aid doctors with diagnostic imaging and detect smuggled items
- electricity is of great value to our economy
Its all a matter of degree and proper management.

What type of wave does need medium to travel?
any wave of energy except for electromagnetic waves need a medium to travel through.
Can you measure the electromagnetic energy of a person?
In principle, electromagnetic energy can be measured. However, I am not quite sure what you mean by "the electromagnetic energy of a person". A person does not emit significant amounts of electromagnetic energy, except for infrared energy emitted by any object due to its temperature. If you mean that, yes, it can be measured as well.
Where is the energy of a microwave produced?
Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic wave.If you mean the microwave OVEN, the answer is none - no energy is stored. Any energy it uses is provided when it is needed, from the electrical outlet.
Where does visible electromagnetic energy come from?
Any light source.
Does electromagnetic energy transfer to light energy?
It isn't clear to me what you mean with "transfer to". In any case, visible light IS electromagnetic radiation. There is no need to transfer or convert anything.
Vision is what type of energy?
Vision is not any type of energy. Vision can detect the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum by the interaction of electromagnetic waves with chemical compounds; this interaction then results in electrical impulses being sent to the brain.
What type of radiation is probably the most dangerous to humans?
Externally, gamma radiation is dangerous because it can penetrate the body. Alpha is most dangerous if ingested.
What type of wave does need medium to travel?
any wave of energy except for electromagnetic waves need a medium to travel through.
Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum do we feel as heat from the sun?
Infrared energy is felt as heat, although any type of electronmagnetic energy can be felt as heat if it is sufficiently intense.

What type of energy laser is?
i think it is.......... heat energy or either electrical it depends i guess.................
Electromagnetic waves dont carry any matter what do they carry?
Electromagnetic waves carry energy and information. Energy is transferred through the oscillation of electric and magnetic fields, while information can be encoded in the frequency, amplitude, and phase of the wave.
Where does visible electromagnetic energy come from?
Any light source.
Are alpha radiation dangerous?
Any electromagnetic radiation can be dangerous. Alpha waves are higher on the radiation scale than x-rays so yes, they are dangerous.
Does electromagnetic energy transfer to light energy?
It isn't clear to me what you mean with "transfer to". In any case, visible light IS electromagnetic radiation. There is no need to transfer or convert anything.
Why do electromagnetic radiation waves turn into thermal energy?
Heat is the final "energy" type in all actions in/on matter, although there may be any number of interesting intermediate steps (such as us being alive).
