Do you mean 'Which electromagnetic wave in the electromagnetic spectrum causes sunburn? The answer is Ultraviolet (UV), which is what is used in sunbeds and therefore damages and colours your skin cells.
The main form of electromagnetic radiation that give you a sunburn is Ultra Violet (UV) radiation. (UV rays) Ultra-violet is furthered graded to UVa UVb and UVc. UVa - is necessary for the production of Vitamin D UVb - is required for certain anti-cancer process in the skin. UVc - has no beneficial function and is the most energetic and responsible for the majority of the sun burn.

Light is the most common form of electromagnetic radiation that you see in your daily life.
