All electromagnetic radiation lacks mass. We sometimes use the term photon to refer to light, which is a form of electromagnetic energy. Light has no mass. None.

What type of electromagnetic radiation is absorbed by the sample in mass spectrometry?

Mass spectrometry doesn't use electromagnetic radiation, hence why it is not called Mass spectroscopy. Instead Mass spectrometry uses high energy electrons to ionize the sample molecules, which helps determine the mass of the molecules and any fragmented ions from the parent ion.


Is radiation the direct transfer of energy by electromagnetic?

It's the emission of electromagnetic energy from something, not the transfer. That em-radiation could travel for ever across the universe, never interacting with anything ever again and it would still be radiation.________________________________________________________Not all radiation is electromagnetic engery. Electromagnetic energy is transfered by way of photons. Photons are emited through gamma radiation and black body radiation. Nuclear decay of alpha particles and beta particles (which are also considered radiations) are actual particles that have mass, and are not electromagnetic radiation.
