Electromagnetic radiation is concerned with the movement of photons (individual, discrete 'packets' of light energy.) The frequency of electromagnetic radiation is directly proportional to its energy and inversely proportional to it's wavelength. Thus, a higher frequency will mean that the photons have a shorter wavelength and have more energy.
Different frequencies, and therefore energies, of electromagnetic radiation will give it different properties. Because of this, the frequencies of electromagnetic radiation are divided into a spectrum based on the different properties of electromagnetic radiation of different frequencies. This spectrum goes from radio waves at the very low end to gamma rays at the other end.
See the link at the bottom for a diagram of the Electromagnetic Spectrum.
However, in the below image the word 'heat' is wrong. Between Infra-red and Radio waves are microwaves.
Nuclear radiation is normally concerned with any form of radiation emitted as a result of radioactive decay, in which a large, unstable nucleus of an atom breaks down to form a more stable one.
There are three types of nuclear radiation: alpha, beta, and gamma. Alpha decay is when an unstable nucleus emits an alpha particle which is composed of two protons and two neutrons; i.e. it is effectively a helium nucleus. Beta decay is when an unstable nucleus emits a beta particle (an electron), and gamma emission is when an unstable nucleus emits high energy electromagnetic radiation called gamma rays.
hum are you serious?
another difference is that they don't start with the same letter.
The only difference between electromagnetic radiation is the energy, frequency and wavelength, which are all inter-dependent. the equations for determining these are (light speed/wavelength=frequency),(light speed/frequency=wavelength) and (Energy=Planck's constant*frequency)
EM radiation is a self-propagating, transverse vibration of electic and magnetic fields, that was predicted by Maxwell's Equations to travel at the speed of light. It was soon found that EM radiation and light were the same thing. We now know that EM radiation vary from low frequency, long wavelength (ELF, as low as 3 Hz or 10^8 meters or 10^-15 eV) to high frequency, short wavelength (10^28 Hz or 10^-17 meters or 100 Tev). EM radiation coming from nuclear reactions is commonly referred to as "gamma rays." None of this radiation has any mass.
Particulate radiation is emission of particles with mass: electrons (as in beta decay), neutrons, protons, helium nuclei (ie, apha particles), cosmic rays (very massive particles with near lightspeed velocities from unknown sources outside the solar system), and neutrinos (very light particles produced in beta decay, so light their mass is unknown but larger than zero).
The visible spectrum contains the colors(ROY.G BiV) while the electromagnetic spectrum contains gamma rays, microwve, radio, ultraviolet, infared, and x-ray.
The difference is that in an atomic spectrum, only the radiation of certain wavelengths is emitted. In a continuous spectrum, radiation of all wavelengths is present.

Yes alpha particle goes under goes electromagnetic radiations. when an atom is exposed to the magnetic field the alpha particle deviates right through right direction which indicates does have capacity to excite and emits radiations to come to ground level.
The human eye can detect electromagnetic radiation in the visible region of the spectrum only. This region extends to the radiations of wavelength of 7600-3800 Angstrom
the two types of electromagnetic radiations next to visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum are the two types of electromagnetic radiations next to visible light in the electromagnetic spectrumAnswer2: Infrared and Ultra Violet are next to visible light.
You can make electromagnets out of it. You can make magnetic shielding out of it, for rapidly changing magnetic fields. You can store energy in its field. You can use it to make transformers and motors.

Electromagnetic radiations
Radiation is the mode of transfer of heat in the form of electromagnetic wave. Infra red radiations are nothing but heat radiations.
gamma radiations..
Radio.

Visible light.
electromagnetic radiations are formed due to the disturbances in electric and magnetic fields which are perpendicular to each other.
It blocks the UV part of the electromagnetic radiation. These are harmful radiations.
Electromagnetic spectrum is formed due to the difference of wavelengths and frequency of electromagnetic radiations as they are orderly distributed.
because they provide different strnght in different region
Yes they can. They are a form of electromagnetic rays and all types of electromagnetic radiations can travel in vacuum
