Visible light is a subset of the electromagnetic spectrum. Starting at the longest wavelengths (lowest frequencies), the electromagnetic spectum includes:
- Radio waves
- Microwaves
- Infra-red
- Visible light
- Ultraviolet
- X-rays
- Gamma rays

What are the common name of electromagnetic waves?
The common name for electromagnetic waves is just that: "electromagnetic waves". There is no other commonly used term. Specific parts of the spectrum have common names, for example light (or visible light), radio waves, x-rays, etc. - but none of this means exactly the same as "electromagnetic waves". Visible light, for instance, is just one type (or frequency range) of electromagnetic waves.
What do infrared and radio waves have in common?
They are just different frequency bands of the electromagnetic spectrum.
What electromagnetic wave makes fires heat?
All parts of the electromagnetic spectrum cause heat, and fires emit EM radiation based on a plank curve. However, in the majority of "normal" fires, the most common source is in the infrared spectrum.
How can light be defined in simplest form?
The common definition of 'light' (visible) is electromagnetic radiation visible to the human eye. It is only a small part of what is known as the 'electromagnetic spectrum' - which is the range of wavelengths of all possible electromagnetic radiation. Light is electromagnetic radiation, as reported. But, even though it behaves like a wave, it also behaves as a particle. We can call a particle of light a photon. Light has two identities, a "duality" of sorts, that is called wave-particle duality. That's about as simple as it can get. Light is called a "wavicle" by some, and for reason that it displays qualities of both a wave and a particle.
Why does red have a lower frequency then other colors?
The naming of the colours in the visible spectrum were arbitrary, However there was a common agreement that red (or equivalent terms in other languages) was the colour associate with light having a wavelength of about 650 nm. This wavelength is longer than the other visible light colours and is part of the overall electromagnetic spectrum ranging from wavelengths of a millionth of a nanometer (gamma rays) to radio wave of a 100 km or so.In short the name came first, then we figured out what the wavelength was.

What do visible lightinfrared radiationultraviolet radiation have in common?
They are all part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and examples of each can be observed within less than two octaves of frequency.
What do infrared and radio waves have in common?
They are just different frequency bands of the electromagnetic spectrum.
What property is common for all colours in the visible spectrum?
I have no idea what you just asked :)
What is different about different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum?
The way they are produced, studied, and the power they have are the only common differences.
What is the EM spectrum?
The electromagnetic (EM) spectrum is the entire range of frequencies that electromagnetic radiation can have. The EM spectrum is divided into sections based on the common characteristics that certain frequency ranges have. These sections are, in order from low to high frequency, radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light (which from low to high frequency is further divided into red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet), ultraviolet waves, X-rays, and gamma rays. You can think of the EM spectrum as an invisible rainbow with visible light being a small part of it. And, like a rainbow, the edges of the divided sections are blurry; i.e. there is no exact frequency where one can say, for example, that this wave is no longer an X-ray, but is instead a gamma ray. it is waves of light in order of their wavelengths and frequencies APEX: A chart of frequencies of light waves.
What do red and violet have in common?
Red and violet are both visible to the common eye. The red and violet light are both forms of visible light, are electromagnetic waves, and are able to be polarized.

What properties are common to both solid and liquid?
tangible,visible,measurable,occupy space
What does gamma rays and radio waves have in common?
They are all basically the same thing, electromagnetic radiation, but with different frequencies. All these waves are em waves which travel with the speed of light and it is the common b/w all the waves.
