Should electromagnetic radiation be avoided at all cost?
No mainly because it is impossible. The electromagnetic spectrum is everywhere visible light is a small part of it as are radio waves. It isn't a bad idea to avoid some of it X rays, ultraviolet light, microwaves etc. are potentially harmful hence the issue with cell phones high tension power cables etc.
Why is EMR important when studying photosynthesis?
Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) is important when studying photosynthesis because without sunlight emitting EMR photosynthesis cannot occur.
What is the farthest point north of the earths surface?
The North Pole at 90° North. You cannot go any further north.
Is radiation an xray?
No, they can't. X-rays, at least the high energy ones, are a form of ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation can break chemical bonds, but it cannot activate a substance. That is, X-rays cannot make a substance radioactive. Only particulate radiation can "induce" radioactivity, and that will happen according to the type of particulate radiation and the material being bombarded. Cosmic rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation even more energetic than X-rays, and even they cannot make a substance radioactive. Because X-rays cannot make a substance radioactive, they cannot make a site, a room, or an area of any kind radioactive.
How does electromagnetic radiation from distant galaxies support the big bang theory?
Given by the fact that electromegnetic energy cannot be seen and how the radiation from distant galaxies supports the big bang theory? it can easily be said that...I dont know the answer. (0_0)
Do microwaves go through the earths atmosphere?
All forms of electromagnetic radiation travel through vacuums. No transmission medium is required. Some forms of EMR -- visible light, for example -- cannot pass through solid objects, however.

How is the curved horizon proof of the Earth shape?
we have a horizon which means that we cannot see all of the earths surface
How does cloud cover influence the amount of solar radiation that reaches Earth's surface?
Cloud cover influences the amount of solar radiation that reaches Earth's surface because solar radiation cannot reach earth if there is tons of clouds blocking the way
Is light a radiation or a particle?
Yes, it acts like whichever your experiment is testing for. This is one thing about quantum mechanics that confuses many people (and probably cannot be fully understood by the human mind). Also, its not just electromagnetic radiation, but matter acts the same way (sometimes a wave sometimes a particle).
What is a material that light cannot travel through?
light can travel through anything. Light here means electromagnetic radiation, not just visible light. Visible light cannot go through anything opaque, such as metal sheets. Other types of electromagnetic radiation, like X-rays, can pass through almost anything. If you want the name ofa material where no EM radiation can pass through, it's thick lead sheet.
What is farthest southern point on the earths surface?
The South Pole, you cannot go any further south than that.
How is photography related to physics?
First of all, electromagnetic radiation consists of electromagnetic waves, so the two terms are almost synonymous. The very definition of "photography" is: the creation of images by capturing radiation on a "radiation-sensitive medium". Almost always the type of "radiation" captured in photography is electromagnetic radiation, and almost always the type of electromagnetic radiation captured in photography is light, therefore almost always the type of "radiation-sensitive medium" used in photography is light-sensitive film used in cameras. In short, photography is the art and/or science of capturing electromagnetic waves for the purpose of making pictures, except for a few rare types of photography. Some exceptions to the standard light-with-film type of photography are: (1) infrared photography, such as used in aerial photography, since infrared electromagnetic radiation cannot be seen, unlike light, and (2) x-ray photography, since x-ray electromagnetic radiation also cannot be seen. It is conceivable that other, extremely rare types of photography such as the capturing of alpha particles or beta particles, which are other types of radiation different than electromagnetic radiation, could also be considered "photography," but those would likely be used only for limited scientific purposes rather than for recreational purposes.
