Any light source.
Infrared lies between the visible and microwave portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared waves that are near to visible light do not generate heat and are used in TV remote controls. Infrared waves that are far from the visible end of the light spectrum are thermal and generate heat. The infrared heat from the sun, a lamp or a radiator is a type of far infrared radiation.
Electromagnetic waves don't come in different types. They are all the same physical phenomenon, they all have the same speed in space, and they all exhibit the same electrical and optical behavior. Depending on their wavelength (frequency), we may call them radio, microwave, heat, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, soft x-ray, hard x-ray, or gamma ray but these are all simply different regions in the continuous distribution of the same phenomenon.
The spectrum has been arranged in the order of increasing fequency and is given as follows: Long waves, (waves produced during lightning) - LOWEST FREQUENCY Medium waves, short waves. All these come under common title Radio waves Mircro waves Infrared Visible Ultra violet X-ray Gama ray The lowest frequency is the LOng wave. Hope electromagnetic waves may be produced when thinking process continues. The frequency will be the least one.
Many of the EM waves present on earth's environment come from the sun. The sun's high temperature allows it to give off countless EM waves. In addition to the sun , technology is a source of EM waves that humans use for a wide variety of purposes.. This was written by a 15 year old
Radio-waves, like light, are electromagnetic waves and hence travel at the speed of light.
X-rays are electromagnetic waves.

Electromagnetic waves found in sunlight are light waves, ultraviolet waves and cosmic waves.

gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet rays, visible light, infrared rays, microwaves and radio waves are all part of the electromagnetic spectrum. All these waves are released by different bodies in space. Gamma rays and X-rays can come from Quasars, neutron stars. Radio waves can come from even simple radioactive bodies (very unlikely to be detected).
Our eyes cannot sense radio waves. Although radio waves, visible light waves, X-rays and gamme rays are all part of the Electromagnetic Spectrum, our eyes are only equipped to detect the part of the spectrum known as visible light.

Light waves / photons.These waves come in at different energies.Waves with very short wavelengths are blocked by our atmosphere, so the energy that reaches ground is mostly Radio Waves, Microwaves, Infrared light Visible Light, and UV rays.Some mass travels to Earth as "solar wind", also.
The electromagnetic waves native to Saturn are intense radio waves. In addition there are known to have changing frequencies which are detected by a Cassini wave instrument.
