Some part of the electromagnetic spectrum is dangerous, but not all of it in general. Radio waves, Visible light, and Infrared waves are harmless. An extremely long exposure to Microwaves can be a little bad to your health. Ultraviolet waves can cause sunburn. Exposure to X-rays can be bad. Its the gamma rays that you need to worry about because they are deadly. That's only one part of the electromagnetic spectrum so there really is nothing to worry about. Only if you are in outer space. So again, some part of the electromagnetic spectrum is dangerous.

What do telescopes do with electromagnetic radiation?
Telescopes focus electromagnetic radiation for closer observation.
How is visible light and electromagnetic radiation different?
They are not different.Visible light IS electromagnetic radiation.
Is electromagnetic radiation infrared radiation?
No, not in general. It is rather the other way around. Infrared radiation is electromagnetic radiation, and electromagnetic radiation spans multiple types of radiation, from microwaves, light, infrared, ultraviolet, radio, and more. So electromagnetic radiation could be infrared, but that is just one type of electromagnetic radiation
Does electromagnetic radiation has mass and charge?
have, not has, and I would assume that it has electrons to be electromagnetic radiation, and therefore mass
Nuclear fusion releases energy in the form of?
Various wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation.
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.
What are the attribute to the most dangerous type of radiation?
Its ability to impart energy to the object that absorbs it. For electromagnetic radiation this is generally proportional to the energy of the individual photon.
The Sun transfers most of its heat by means of?
Convection and radiation (internally) and radiation (externally).
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 is a packet of electromagnetic radiation called?
The packet of electromagnetic radiation is the photon.
What is transferred by electromagnet waves?
Electromagnetic radiation is transferred by electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic radiation is a fundamental phenomenon of electromagnetism.
What type of wave is EM radiation?
EM radiation is short for electromagnetic radiation. It is a wave in the electric and magnetic fields.EM radiation is short for electromagnetic radiation. It is a wave in the electric and magnetic fields.EM radiation is short for electromagnetic radiation. It is a wave in the electric and magnetic fields.EM radiation is short for electromagnetic radiation. It is a wave in the electric and magnetic fields.

The transfer of energy as waves moving through space is called?
Radiation
Does electromagnetic radiation only inclue visible light?
electromagnetic radiation includes all types of the electromagnetic spectrum
