Alpha rays are not part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Alpha particles are the same as helium nuclei, and are given off in nuclear decay.

Where on the spectrum of electromagnetic waves does alpha radiation fit in?
Alpha radiation is not electromagnetic. It's a stream of helium nuclei.
Which of the alpha beta and gamma radiation is formed of electromagnetic radiation?
We know that gamma rays are electromagnetic energy, and they'll occupy a place on the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. You can locate gamma rays right at the top end of the EM spectrum because their frequencies are so high (or their wavelengths are so short, if you prefer).
Alpha ray gama ray which one is the electro magnetism?
Gamma rays are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
How much of the electromagnetic spectrum does the sun produce?
Electromagnetic radiation is a continuous spectrum of wavelengths from thousands of kilometres to wavelengths the size of fractions of an atom. They are all the same kind of radiation - the differences are only the wavelengths. They range from the longest - radio waves, then microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultra violet light, X-rays and gamma rays. The sun emits all of these apart from gamma rays.
Does electromagnetic radiation include only visible light waves?
Not exactly. Actually, no. Photons are chunks of electromagnetic waves. As such, they do not produce EM waves, they ARE those waves. A photon inter-acting with some other particle could result in other photons -- ie, a different kind of EM wave -- being created.
Does electromagnetic spectrum only include visible light?
No, it includes alpha, beta, gamma, x-rays and ultraviolet rays also. In other words it includes the visible as well as non-visible light spectrum.

Which is not considered a raditional ray gamma beta alpha or infrared?
Alpha and beta are not electromagnetic radiation.
Why are alpha and beta radiation not included in electromagnetic spectrum?
alpha and beta radiations do not travel at the speed of light,but gamma rays and the rest of em spectrum rays do.
Is alpha radiation a form of light found on the electromagnetic spectrum?
Signs piont to no you stupid are somthing?

Is the statement the sun only gives off visible light correct?
False. The Sun radiates electromagnetic energy in all parts of the spectrum, not just the tiny sliver that is "visible light". Additionally, the Sun gives off hard radiation in the form of alpha and beta particles, and a considerable "solar wind" of charged atomic nuclei.
What are the forms of radiation?
Alpha, Beta, Neutron, X-ray, Gamma, Neutron radiation, Electromagnetic radiation, Visible light, Infrared, Microwave, Radio waves, Very low frequency (VLF), Extremely low frequency (ELF), Thermal radiation (heat) and Black body radiation.
How does the speed of visible light compare with the speed of gamma ray?
Gamma radiation is the fastest, as it is light. speed of gamma radiation = c (light speed) speed of beta radiation < c ( below light speed ) speed of alpha radiation < c/10 ( far below light speed )
