Radiation is the generic term for energy given off in the form of electromagnetic energy. A number of other terms are employed for specific types of electromagnetic radiation.
Emission - they can do that in far more ways than in the answer above, covering a good deal of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Answer
Electromagnetic radiation emitted by a particle undergoing acceleration (including slowing down, or negative acceleration) is known as Bremsstrahlung.

The energy given off is electromagnetic energy.
All objects are constantly radiating electromagnetic energy (radiant energy) and all objects are constantly absorbing electromagnetic (radiant energy) from their environment.
Objects exchange heat energy with their environment through the usual process of thermal conduction as well. In most cases thermal conduction is the dominant form of heat transfer between an object and its environment.
Light is a well known form of electromagnetic energy, and it happens to be the form to which the human eye is sensitive. There is much infrared light in our environment that the eye can not see. That infrared light, particularly the far infrared, is electromagnetic energy generated by warmer objects in our environment. If the object is warm enough, it generates visible light. It is for that reason that we refer to something as red hot or even white hot.
Thermal imaging is a well known way of detecting the radiant energy from objects.

What is the transfer of of energy carried by light waves to particles in matter?
This process is called energy absorption.
The sun's energy reaches us by a method called?
Mainly through radiation (electromagnetic waves, especially light).
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum has the most energy?
The waves with higher frequencies have more energy and the gamma rays have the most energy in the electromagnetic spectrum
What process is used when Thermal energy moving from the sun to earth?
The process used for the sun's heat energy to reach Earth is called thermal radiation. This electromagnetic radiation is caused by charged particles' motion in the Sun.
Name one kind of wave that does not require a medium?
An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.An electromagnetic wave (this includes light) does not require a physical medium - it can travel through empty space.
Is the process through which plants convert electromagnetic energy into chemical energy?
the process is called evaporation
A substance can absorb heat energy by the process of?
There are three methods by which substances absorb heat. These are conduction, or heat transfer through contact, convection, or heat transfer through fluid motion, and radiation, or heat transfer through electromagnetic radiation.
Does light need a substance to travel through?
No. It is radiation, not vibration. As electromagnetic energy, it can travel through a vacuum, and only through transparent or translucent material.
Which process transfers energy primarily by eletromagnetic wave traveling through empty space?
Electromagnetic radiation
Light energy travels in electromagnetic waves How do electromagnetic waves emit energy?
Through Radiation
Why can't the eye process electromagnetic energy?
It does ... light.
What kind of energy can travel through a vacuum?
electromagnetic energy
What is the energy of travels through space as waves?
Electromagnetic energy.
Different kinds of energy waves that move at the speed of light in a vacuum make up the?
In any substance, all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed that light travels through that substance.
What is the energy changer for a plant?
Plants convert the Sun's energy into chemical energy through a process called photosynthesis, using a substance called clorophyl.
Is the energy a fire gives off electromagnetic?
The light is electromagnetic energy; so is the heat radiation. Heat transported through conduction or convection is no longer electromagnetic energy.
What type of energy does a crank flashlight go through. mechanical or thermal?
"Go through"? The process of charging and using a crank flashlight includes the existence of thermal, mechanical, electromagnetic, sound and radiation energy.
