Why are electromagnetic waves associated with radiation?
All forms of radiation, even hard nuclear radiation, is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
What is the difference between nuclear energy and light energy?
Light is electromagnetic energy. Nuclear energy is energy derived from nuclear reactions, and the nuclear reactions could be either fusion or fission reactions. As regards the energy that appears from nuclear reactions, it can take different forms, including the form of electromagnetic energy.
Can radiation happen in a vacuum?
Yes. Both nuclear radiation and electromagnetic radiation such as light can happen in a vacuum.
What electromagnetic wave is found in space or nuclear explosions?
Gamma rays. These high energy electromagnetic waves are given of in nuclear reactions (including those in stars)
What is the difference between waves used in microwave ovens and nuclear radiation?
Both microwave radiation and nuclear electromagnetic radiation are members of the same species, but they're as different as babies are from elephants, to wit, microwaves are much, much less powerful than nuclear electromagnetic radiation. Microwave radiation, for instance, makes atoms shift their position (and magnetic fields) very, very quickly. Now the definition of heat is "movement," so the faster anything moves, the "hotter" we say it is. Ergo, something placed in a microwave-radiation-field becomes noticeably "hotter." But comparing microwave and nuclear electromagnetic radiation is like comparing a face-slap to a 20-ton BOMB. Nuclear radiation comes from atomic nuclei, so "nuclear radiation" can strike, penetrate, damage, and even destroy atoms in their path. Big difference, capiche? Huge.We left out the part about nuclear particulate radiation. There is no comparison there. Additionally, nuclear electromagnetic radiation is ionizing radiation while microwave radiation is not.
Do planets convert nuclear energy in electromagnetic radiation?
No.
Nuclear fusion releases energy in the form of?
Various wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation.
How is strong nuclear force important to nuclear chemistry?
Nuclear chemistry deals with the chemical reactions involving radioactive elements. Gamma radiation is due to the electromagnetic force, beta radiation is due to the weak nuclear force, and alpha radiation is due to the residual strong force (which you might call the strong nuclear force). So... if you didn't have the nuclear force, you wouldn't have alpha radiation.

How radiation affected by surface temperature?
Nuclear radiation is not affected at all, but radiation by Electromagnetic Radiation is. This is a straight Physics topic, not Nuclear Energy.
Nuclear reactions such as fusion and fission convert?
Nuclear reactions convert very small amounts of matter into significant amounts of energy.
Can radiation happen in a vacuum?
Yes. Both nuclear radiation and electromagnetic radiation such as light can happen in a vacuum.
What does nuclear fusion convert hydrogen into?
Nuclear reactions in the cores of stars convert hydrogen to helium
What is the relationship between nuclear radiation and nuclear fallout?
fallout emits nuclear radiation, but lots of other things do too.fallout is particulates from dust size to baseball size, nuclear radiation is a mix of electromagnetic radiation and high speed subatomic particles.
What electromagnetic wave is found in space or nuclear explosions?
Gamma rays. These high energy electromagnetic waves are given of in nuclear reactions (including those in stars)
Which of the following is not a type of nuclear radiation alpha particles beta particles neutron emission x rays?
X-rays are not a type of nuclear radiation. They are a type of electromagnetic radiation.
