They all behave like a wave (which can be caracterized by frequency and wave lenght)
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.
Radium emits alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. Alpha radiation is fully ionized helium nuclei. Beta radiation is high energy electrons. Gamma radiation is very high energy electromagnetic radiation. All of these can do significant damage to living things.
Yes. The shorter the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave, the higher its frequency is. Don't confuse frequency with velocity! All electromagnetic radiation travels at the same rate, C (3*10^8) m/s.
No shielding material truly absorbs electromagnetic radiation, it attenuates it. The attenuation is by a certain amount for a certain standard thickness. The standard thickness is called the half thickness and is used to quantify shielding effectiveness for a given type of electromagnetic radiation. One half thickness attenuates the power of the given type of radiation by 50% or in decibel units -3dB. Thus the power of the radiation after a given number of half thicknesses of a given shield is:50% or -3dB25% or -6dB12.5% or -9dB6.25% or -12dB3.125% or -15dB1.5625% or -18dB0.78125% or -21dB0.390625% or -24dB0.1953125% or -27dB0.097655625 or -30dBetc.As you can see no thickness of shield material can completely attenuate electromagnetic radiation to nothing, also the higher the frequency of electromagnetic radiation the longer the half thickness is so for x-rays and gamma rays it takes very large thicknesses to get any useful attenuation.For particle radiation the situation is completely different, the radiation can sometimes be absorbed and sometimes can't:alpha particles are 100% absorbed by a single sheet of paper or the first layer of living tissue they encountermost beta particles are 100% absorbed by a single sheet of thin metal foil (e.g. aluminum foil)neutrons penetrate most matter as if it was not there, unless it contains certain elements (e.g. boron, cadmium, uranium) that have high neutron capture crosssections in which case the neutron flux is attenuated much like electromagnetic radiation as described aboveneutrinos penetrate all matter as if it was not thereetc.
No. The speed of all electromagnetic radiation is the same in vacuum, from the longest radio wave to the shortest gamma wave.
All of them. It is a property of metals.
electromagnetic radiation includes all types of the electromagnetic spectrum
They travel at the speed of light (c = 3*108 m/s)
All forms of radiation, even hard nuclear radiation, is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

the electromagnetic spectrum. ============================
The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.[1] The "electromagnetic spectrum" of an object is the characteristic distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted or absorbed by that particular object.
Electromagnetic Radiation is electron radiation as pulsed by the Sun at all measured frequencies
Transverse waves
Yes
