It is microwaves that are used for radar. They are high frequency, short wavelength electromagnetic waves, and a number of different frequency ranges of these microwaves are used depending on the application. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on radar and the different bands or ranges of frequencies that are used and their applications.

What did the radar do?
radar sends electromagnetic waves and it is reflected back by the object such as a plane or a sub and based on the analysis of time and speed of wave we get the position of object. for an example of radar they used radar before pearl harbor and saw many planes, the radar operatiors thought it was a squadron of b-29's returning to base but it ended up being the empire of japan's zero's (type of lightly armored plane that sacrificed armor for speed,agility,and a better service ceiling (how high a plane can go))
What is the type of energy carried by an electromagnetic wave?
both electric and magnetic energy
What type of electromagnetic waves are microwaves and radar?
Technically, all electromagnetic waves are the same type: electromagnetic. The only difference between them is their frequency or wavelength -- that is, how fast they vibrate. We humans categorize the electromagnetic spectrum in chunks of frequencies for our own convenience. Because the frequency of a wave affects how it interacts with matter, it's helpful to label ranges of frequencies that way. These are the names we use from low frequency to high: Radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultra-violet light, x-rays, gamma rays, and cosmic rays. Microwaves are used in radar instruments, so they are commonly called "radar" waves as well. Check out the links to see a nice graphic of the electromagnetic spectrum.
What type of electromagnetic wave travels down a fiber optic cable?

Is radar wave mechanical?
No. As you might guess from the name, radar uses radio waves. Radio waves, in turn, are a type of electromagnetic wave - in other words, in principle similar to light waves.
What type of energy wave is used with the radar?
eletrical

Sound. Heat, light, radar & x-rays are electromagnetic.
Are radio waves a type of mechanical wave or a type of electromagnetic wave?
Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic wave.
What type of electromagnetic wave is used for TVs?
Radio 'waves'.
