Light is emitted when an electron jumps from a higher energy orbit to a lower energy one. The wavelength (=colour) depends on the energy difference. Bigger is bluer, smaller redder.

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 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.
What particles in an atom are light particles?
Electrons are the lighter particles of an atom. If you are referring to the phenomena of light in electromagnetic radiation the particles are called photons. They are not part of an atom as such but can be emitted or absorbed by atoms under certain circumstances.
List the three main types of nuclear radiation in order of increasing ionizing ability?
Alpha, Beta, Gamma and cosmic are all examples of radiation.Types of radiation could be:Ionizing radiationElectromagnetic radiationInfra red radiation
What are two types of energy which come from the sun?
The sun is a complicated machine, but in the end it produces radiation, which arrives to Earth. We use some of that radiation - the visible light part of the spectrum - to see. Some of this radiation can be turned into solar energy. My butt itches.
Which part of atoms does nuclear radiation come from?
nucleus, of course. that's why its called nuclear.
Is a nucleus an atom that produces nuclear energy?
No, it is a part of an atom.
What is nuclear part?
The electronic clouds (orbits) around the nucleus is extra nuclear part of atom.
What part of the atom is affected in radiation?
The electron is affected in radiation. The electron orbit is changed.
In what part of atom is nuclear energy found?
In the nucleus!
Nuclear Reactions involve what part of the atom?
The Nucleus
What is extra nuclear part?
The electronic clouds (orbits) around the nucleus is extra nuclear part of atom.
Why are electromagnetic waves associated with radiation?
All forms of radiation, even hard nuclear radiation, is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Which part of atom take part in nuclear reaction?
A nuclear reaction involves changes in the nucleus of an atom, and it is from the atomic nucleus that energy is released in a nuclear reaction.
What part of the atom is most involved in making light?
The extra nuclear part.(electronic shells)
How are nuclear geothermal solar and hydroelectric alike?
they are alike becausee they are part of an atom
What part of the atom does the word nuclear refer to?
A concept or model of the atom characterised by the presence of a small, massive nucleus at its centre.
