What are different types of radiation other than visible light and what are there uses?
The names we give to a few other wavelength-bands of electromagnetic radiation are:
-- radio
-- microwave
-- heat
-- X-ray
-- gamma ray
After you've spent some time here on Earth, you'll get used to these terms,
and you'll quickly understand what we do with these categories of radiation.

How is visible light and electromagnetic radiation different?
Visible light is a specific portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that humans can see with their eyes. Electromagnetic radiation, on the other hand, refers to all forms of energy that travel as waves at the speed of light, including visible light as well as other forms like radio waves, microwaves, and X-rays.
How are visible light radiowaves and other forms of electromagnetic radiation different from each other?
The only part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we can see is the small yet significant part of visible light. Visible light is not harmful for humans, but some of the other types of waves are.
Is radiation the same as light?
Radiation and light are not the same, but they are related. Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye, while radiation refers to a broader range of electromagnetic waves including visible light, as well as other forms like X-rays and gamma rays.
What is the color of alpha radiation?
Alpha radiation does not have a colour. In order for something to have a colour, it must emit rays of visible light. Alpha radiation and light are two different things which have little to do with each other.
Does Infrared radiation has a longer wavelength than visible light?
Yes, infrared radiation has a longer wavelength than visible light. Infrared radiation has wavelengths longer than those of visible light, ranging from about 0.7 micrometers (μm) to 1 millimeter (mm), while visible light ranges from about 0.4 to 0.7 micrometers (μm).
How is infrared radiation different from visible radiation?
Both are examples of electromagnetic radiation. Infrared has a longer wavelength (lower frequency) than visible light. Of course visible light is visible to humans and infrared is not (although long wave Infrared is sensible to humans as heat).

What is in the sunlight and what is in darkness?
Sunlight contains visible light, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and infrared radiation. Darkness lacks the presence of visible light, although other forms of radiation may still be present depending on the environment.
What is the color of alpha radiation?
Alpha radiation does not have a colour. In order for something to have a colour, it must emit rays of visible light. Alpha radiation and light are two different things which have little to do with each other.
What can radiation do to the human body?
That depends what radiation - there are several types. For example, visible light, in the usual quantities, does no harm at all. A very intense light, or other types of radiation, can be very harmful indeed.That depends what radiation - there are several types.

Why can we only see visible light and not other forms of electromagnetic radiation?
We can only see visible light because our eyes are sensitive to the wavelengths of light within the visible spectrum. Other forms of electromagnetic radiation, such as infrared and ultraviolet light, have wavelengths that are either too long or too short for our eyes to detect.
What color radiation?
Radiation does not typically have a color. Electromagnetic radiation such as visible light does have colors, but other forms of radiation like X-rays or gamma rays are not visible to the human eye and do not have a distinct color.
Which electromagnetic radiation can be seen with the human eye?
Visible light waves
Do invisible flames give off light?
Invisible means there is no visible light. They may give off other electromagnetic radiation, but "light" usually refers to visible light.
What is it called when energy transfers through space by visible light ultraviolet radiation and other forms of electromagnetic waves?
Radiation
