because it is the method of translocating energy that has been called radiation.
Radiation is a term that refers to the radius of a sphere meaning that it goes out (propagates) in all three spatial directions equally.

Heat waves traveling at the speed of light are called?
Heat waves traveling at the speed of light are called RADIATION! :)
Light energy travels in electromagnetic waves How do electromagnetic waves emit energy?
Through Radiation
The only type of electromagnetic radiation we can see is?
Visible-- waves are the only electromagnetic waves we can see.
Where on the spectrum of electromagnetic waves does alpha radiation fit in?
Alpha radiation is not electromagnetic. It's a stream of helium nuclei.
The energy of visible light transported by electromagnetic waves are what type of waves?
electromagnetic waves are longitudinal (like a slinky).
The transfer of energy as waves moving through space is called?
Radiation
Energy that is transferred by electromagnetic waves is called electromagnetic what?
Energy transferred by electromagnetic waves is called radiation.
Energy that does not require a medium and is transferred by electromagnetic waves is called electromagnetic what?
It is electromagnetic radiation
What is the energy transferred as electromagnetic waves called?

What is heat by electromagnetic waves called?
The transfer of heat by electromagnetic radiation is called thermal radiation. It is usually carried out by electromagnetic waves in an energy range just below the visible spectrum, which is the infrared range.
The energy produced by electromagnetic waves is called?
The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves is called electromagnetic radiation. Light, radio waves and X-rays are a few other examples of this radiation phenomenon. The Transfer process is the "flow" of particles from one location to another. The best visual example is the transfer of "heat" from one source to another.
The Sun transfers most of its heat by means of?
Convection and radiation (internally) and radiation (externally).
