Ultraviolet radiation can rip electrons off the atoms to produce free radicals. However radiations of higher frequency can also have the same effect. The higher the energy of the photon of the electromagnetic wave, the easier it is for the photon to knock off electrons from an atom.

How does radiation affect the structure of a stable molecule such as a molecule of water?
Radiation can involve gamma rays, X-Rays, alpha particles and beta partcles. In terms of molecules these are termed ionizing radiation but they both ionize and break bonds to produce radicals. Ionizing radiations effect on water is to produce hydrogen peroxide, hydrogen, oxygen, ozone, . The pathways are complex involving the breakdown of water molecules into positively charged radicals, such as H2O+, neutral radicals OH and H and solvated electrons. Chain reactions coupled with reionization of some of the "initial" products makes for a complex situation.
During electromagnetic blank a changing magnetic field can produce an electric charge?
RADIATION
What is the connection between magnetism and electricity?
They are opposite "sides" of the electromagnetic force. A moving magnetic field produces electricity and a moving electric field produces magnetism. Should both move alternately they produce electromagnetic radiation.
Does electromagnetic radiation include only visible light waves?
Not exactly. Actually, no. Photons are chunks of electromagnetic waves. As such, they do not produce EM waves, they ARE those waves. A photon inter-acting with some other particle could result in other photons -- ie, a different kind of EM wave -- being created.
Why do cations emit colors when heated in a Bunsen burner flame?
Transitions between electronic energy levels release electromagnetic radiation corresponding to the energy difference between the levels. The heat promotes the electrons to the higher level; when they drop back down to the lower level a specific color of light is emitted.
What produce electromagnetic radiation?
in physics, electromagnetic radiation occurs when charged particles have forces acting on them to accelerate them. Electrons are responsible for the force needed to create electromagnetic radiation.
What form of energy does the sun produce?
Electromagnetic radiation, including light.
What is the mechanism which all the stars produce electromagnetic radiation?
Nuclear fusion in the core.

Who define light?
In weight it is means it is not heavy. In physics it is electromagnetic radiation that can produce a visual sensation.
What radiation waves does an electric radio produce?
The radio receptor receives electromagnetic waves from a broadcast station.These waves are called radio waves. Electromagnetic radiation travels by means of oscillating electromagnetic fields that pass through the air and the vacuum of space.
Where do the electrons used to produce synchrotron radiation come?
Electrons are all around us; it isn't particularly hard to find them.
What does the electromagnetic spectrum have to do with the study of stars?
star produce radiation and it is usually gamma which is deadly and it affects the color of the star

What is inizing radiation?
An ionizing radiation is a radiation that is strong enough (energetic enough) to produce ions, that is, to separate electrons from an atom (thus leaving behind a charged atom, known as an ion)
What will vibration of air molecules produce?
Vibrating gasses, like air, produce longitudinal waves of pressure, some of which can be perceived as sound. If the molecules are ionized, they will also produce electromagnetic radiation.
