frequency
The scientific name for radiation is "ionizing radiation." It includes forms of energy such as gamma rays, x-rays, and ultraviolet rays that have enough energy to remove tightly bound electrons from atoms, creating ions.
"Gamma" is the name given to the electromagnetic radiation with the highest frequency (shortest wavelength, highest energy).
The scientific name of radiant energy is electromagnetic radiation.
electromagnetic waves
Infrared Radiation
For ex. Beta radiation.
Light waves do not emit radiation, light waves are radiation.
The scientific term for light is actually visible light. However, most scientists prefer using just light in there formulas and diagrams.Light is a type of electromagnetic radiation. The fundamental particles of light are called photons.
Radiation
The radiation that travels as waves includes electromagnetic radiation, such as visible light, radio waves, microwaves, and X-rays. These waves vary in frequency and energy, with higher frequencies corresponding to more energetic radiation.
Electromagnetic radiation. No joke. The specific name depends on the amount of energy and the size of the wavelength of the wave in question, but together they're always known as electromagnetic, or EM, radiation.
Heat waves are the same as infra-red radiation; however it is the more specific name. Electromagnetic waves range from Radio Waves to Gamma Rays so, technically, the answer is no.
