It is microwaves that are used for radar. They are high frequency, short wavelength electromagnetic waves, and a number of different frequency ranges of these microwaves are used depending on the application. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on radar and the different bands or ranges of frequencies that are used and their applications.
radar sends electromagnetic waves and it is reflected back by the object such as a plane or a sub and based on the analysis of time and speed of wave we get the position of object. for an example of radar they used radar before pearl harbor and saw many planes, the radar operatiors thought it was a squadron of b-29's returning to base but it ended up being the empire of japan's zero's (type of lightly armored plane that sacrificed armor for speed,agility,and a better service ceiling (how high a plane can go))
both electric and magnetic energy
Technically, all electromagnetic waves are the same type: electromagnetic. The only difference between them is their frequency or wavelength -- that is, how fast they vibrate. We humans categorize the electromagnetic spectrum in chunks of frequencies for our own convenience. Because the frequency of a wave affects how it interacts with matter, it's helpful to label ranges of frequencies that way. These are the names we use from low frequency to high: Radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultra-violet light, x-rays, gamma rays, and cosmic rays. Microwaves are used in radar instruments, so they are commonly called "radar" waves as well. Check out the links to see a nice graphic of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Generally visible light and/or ultra-violet.
EMP or electromagnetic pulse. It can disrupt electronic systems, and signals.
Radar stands for RAdio Detection And Ranging. So ... radio.
The electromagnetic wave used here is Ultraviolet wave...

No. As you might guess from the name, radar uses radio waves. Radio waves, in turn, are a type of electromagnetic wave - in other words, in principle similar to light waves.
eletrical
Sound. Heat, light, radar & x-rays are electromagnetic.
Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic wave.
Radio 'waves'.
A laser generates an electromagnetic wave operating at light frequencies.
Light is an example of a electromagnetic wave.
It is UltraViolet Radiation
