Mainly because that's what they are. Exactly the same physical phenomenon
as radio, microwave, heat radiation, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays, but
with wavelengths in the narrow range that your eyes can detect.
x-rays and gamma rays
Transverse and Compressional electromagetic waves Another opinion: No electromagnetic waves are compressional waves. They're all transverse. I think what the question was looking for is: -- Heat and visible light -- Radio waves and X-rays -- Ultraviolet and gamma rays etc.
In that they are all electromagnetic waves.
"electromagnetic spectrum"
Yes. Radio waves, microwaves, visible light, and x rays are all examples of electromagnetic waves.
A piece of wood is not considered electromagnetic energy. Electromagnetic energy refers to the energy carried by electromagnetic waves, such as light, radio waves, and X-rays. Wood does not emit or interact with electromagnetic waves in the same way that energy does.

X-rays are light rays and they exist as BOTH particles and waves. Light waves are transverse waves
Electromagnetic waves (same as visible light).
The electromagnetic spectrum
In that they are all electromagnetic waves.
X- rays are transverse waves!x rays are electromagnetic waves and transverse .
The electromagnetic spectrum is the name for the range of electromagnetic waves when they are placed in order of increasing frequency. The electromagnetic spectrum is made up of radio waves, infrared rays, visible light, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays.
Visible Light is an electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic waves often are called different things depending on the wavelength of the wave. Examples are Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible light, Ultraviolet, X-rays, Gamma Rays.
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves and are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Other electromagnetic waves in the electromagnetic spectrum are microwaves, visible light, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays
X-Rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Other waves on the electromagnetic spectrum include light, radio waves, and gamma rays.
