The word for the entire range of energy waves that exist in the universe is the electromagnetic spectrum. It includes all forms of electromagnetic radiation, from radio waves to gamma rays.
Why does lead block radioactivity?
Lead is applied as shielding to block (attenuate is the word we prefer) gamma rays. This form of radiation is electromagnetic in nature, and not particulate (composed of particles). Materials of high density (and lead is fairly high) are better at attenuating gamma rays than less dense materials. Additionally, lead is cheap and easy to work with. You've doubtless heard of lead being used to shield against X-rays, which are just a bit lower in frequency than the gamma rays.It is the "close spacing" of the atoms and the "bigness" of the atomic nuclei of lead that make it good for use in gamma ray shielding. Gamma rays "cut right through" electron clouds around atoms, and only the nuclei of atoms really give the gamma ray something to interact with. As regards particles, lead will stop alpha and beta radiation with ease, but so will a sheet of aluminum foil. Lead isn't that great at stopping neutron radiation. Shielding for neutrons requires atoms with small nuclei, so lead isn't so hot in that application.
What is the word for field which studies EMR including visible light x-rays gamma rays and ultraviolet?
radiometry
What type of word describes the electromagnet waves with wavelengths that are shorter than visible light?
Shorter wavelengths means higher frequency, and electromagnetic waves with higher energy. Beyond the blue end of the visible light you have ultraviolet rays; X-rays; and gamma-rays, in that order.
