Well, there is solar radiation, microwaves, radiowaves, x-rays, gamma rays, the stuff in glow in the dark bracelets, like glow sticks and those types of products (I can't remember the names of the ingredients though.) bananas, believe it or not are slightly irradiated, because of potassium which has irradiation, not much of it, though.

Is electromagnetic radiation infrared radiation?
No, not in general. It is rather the other way around. Infrared radiation is electromagnetic radiation, and electromagnetic radiation spans multiple types of radiation, from microwaves, light, infrared, ultraviolet, radio, and more. So electromagnetic radiation could be infrared, but that is just one type of electromagnetic radiation
Is radiation heat?
No... radiation is the movement of waves and particles, and influence of movement upon all other matter around it or in it's path... What happens though, is that it causes (excellerates) the atoms in any material it encounters (and that material becomes hot, the greater the radiation, the greater and more violently it will be heated)...
Which type of nuclear radiation travels the fastest?
All electromagnetic radiation travels at the same speed. We usually call it "the speed of light" but it's the same for all other forms of electromagnetic waves.
Which one is not a type of nuclear radiation.. Alpha particles Beta particle Neutron or Visible light?
All of them - alpha - beta - neutron - visible light - are examples of nuclear radiation.
Where was radiation created?
Theoretically, radiation was "created" at the big bang. Radiation is all around us. Every form of matter emits some form of radiation, or reflects other radiation. Keep in mind that radiation is not just the invisible death rays that are projected from uranium or plutonium. Radiation is also infrared (heat), ultraviolet, and the visible light in between. Radiation is microwave, the type in your oven and also the type in your hand when you make a cellular telephone call or send a text. electromagnetic radiation is what powers your home and the computer in front of you right now (and is being emitted by the monitor in front of you right now). It is X-ray, the kind at the doctor's office and dentist, and the kind that escapes from the vicinity of a black hole. It is sunlight, it is in radon that percolates out of granite. It is in you.
What is the type of spectrum of all types of radiation called?
There are different types of radiation; you may be referring to the electromagnetic radiation.
What type of energy is the sum of the two kinds that are in all objects?
Radiation.
What type of wave comes from the sun?
All wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation do.
What dangers does background radiation pose to humans?
None, background radiation is the natural radiation present all around us and has been for thousands of years.
What type of heat transfer occurs when you get a sunburn?
RadiationNot really. Sunburn is not caused by heat at all, but by overexposure to ultra-violet (specifically UV-B) radiation. It causes damage directly to the DNA rather than heat damage to the skin.While the answer 'radiation' is technically correct as UV is a type of radiation, sunburn is not caused by heat transfer at all.
When does Thermal radiation happen?
All the time. Thermal radiation is given off by anything above absolute zero.
What is Japan radiation?
Radiation is when nuclear leaks into the air and you inhale it it hurts you and can kill you. You experience radiation all the time! In x-rays! But the radiation in those are so less that it can't hurt you.

Which form of radiation can break a bond in some molecules?
Ultra violet radiation does this all the time to DNA molecules. Thymine dimers are the result of this radiation on epidermis cells.
What type of radiation is the sun a source of?
The Sun is a source of all forms of electromagnetic radiation from gamma rays to radio waves. However, the greatest amount of radiation that the Sun produces is visible light.
What type of radiation do all the stars in the milky way have?
Radio, x-rays, IR, UV
What type of radiation does radium give off?
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.
