Radiant energy is a term that is almost exclusively used for electromagnetic energy. When something is hot, it emits radiant energy. The sun is an obvious example, but all object actually emit radiant energy. The hotter the object, the more energy.

Sound does carry energy, but it is not electromagnetic. Objects can emit sound and even "radiate" sound, but the term radiant energy is not normally used for sound.

Light energy is a form of radiant energy. Radiant energy can be other forms of radiation that are not light such as ultraviolet or radio waves.
