Any object radiates electromagnetic waves - if it is hotter, it will radiate more of it. It's one way to transfer heat from one object to another (the other are conduction, and convection). For objects with a temperature less than several hundred degrees Celsius, this radiation will be infrared.

What type of waves are often used in the heat lamps?
The waves in the spectral band between radio and visible light, most commonly referred to as "heat" waves. Those that originate from devices manufactured in Trinidad, Singapore, and Jamaica are known as "tropical heat waves" etc.
Transfer of heat in the form of waves?
Is called infrared.
What EM waves are emitted by fire?
Light (visible) and heat (infrared)
Where does the heat come from in a volcano?
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.
Does human body emit infrared radiation?
Most of the radiation emitted by the human body is infrared radiation and is invisible. if you press a remote button in front of a camera (cellphone or webcam may work) you will see an infrared ray!
What waves are often used in heat lamps?
Infrared waves.
What type of EM wave is most often associated with heat?
The ones called "heat waves", or infrared radiation.
What type of waves are often used in the heat lamps?
The waves in the spectral band between radio and visible light, most commonly referred to as "heat" waves. Those that originate from devices manufactured in Trinidad, Singapore, and Jamaica are known as "tropical heat waves" etc.
Infrared waves are often called heat waves because they?
induce resonance in molecules and increase internal energy in a substance.
What wave are often used in heat lamps radiators or fire?
All these sources produce infrared waves, which we experience as heat.
What waves are felt by heat?
infrared
How are infrared waves produced?
by heat
Example of how infrared waves and visible light are important in your life?
Infrared waves warm you providing heat and visible waves enable you to see.
What are the negative effects of infrared waves?
Infrared is heat energy and heat energy can seriously hurt because it can burn
Loss of heat in the form of infrared waves is termed?
If there is one thing you should know, it's infrared waves. Obvi.
What is the transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves?
Infrared radiation
Transfer of heat in the form of waves?
Is called infrared.
