EM radiation is the energy propagated through free space or through a material medium in the form of electromagnetic waves.
Examples include radio waves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X rays, and gamma rays. Electromagnetic radiation exhibits wavelike properties such as reflection, refraction, diffraction, and interference, but also exhibits particlelike properties in that its energy occurs in discrete packets, or quanta. Though all types of electromagnetic radiation travel at the same speed, they vary in frequency and wavelength, and interact with matter differently. A vacuum is the only perfectly transparent medium; all others absorb some frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.
What else can I help you with?
What does electromagnetic have to do with EM radiation?
EM is short for electromagnetic.
At what speed does all EM radiation travel at?
In a vacuum, 3x10^8 ms^-1. Basically the speed of light, it is EM radiation afterall.
What type of em radiation do conventional ovens use?
infrared radiation ;)<3
What type of em radiation has shortest wavelength and most energy?
Gamma radiation
What distance does electromagnetic radiation travel in 10.7?
In 10.7 femtoseconds, em radiation will travel 3.208 E -6 meters. EM radiation travels at the speed of light, or 299, 792, 458 m/s.
What is the scientific term for light?
"electro-magnetic radiation" "electro magnetic radiation" em radiation
From Where does the energy carried by an EM wave come?
The electromagnetic (EM) spectrum is a name for different types of radiation. Most radiation comes from the sun. Want more info?
What EM radiation that can be seen with the naked eye?
Visible light
What type of wave is EM radiation?
EM radiation is short for electromagnetic radiation. It is a wave in the electric and magnetic fields.EM radiation is short for electromagnetic radiation.

What type of em wave raditiation is a type of heat wave?
Heat radiation is mainly associated with infrared radiation.
Why is it true to say that all EM radiation is light even though we can see only a small slice of the spectrum as visible light?
Visible light is a very small part of the EM spectrum and it is intellectual laziness to refer to all EM radiation as light.
How does Saturn not having a ozone effect the EM radiation?
Saturn does not have an ozone layer. It is for that reason it cannot absorb EM waves.
