Wow, that's both an easy question as well as difficult to answer. In layman's terms, electromagnetic radiation could be categorized as any magnetic field created by electrical or electronic means.

For example, a transmitted radio signal, TV signal or satellite signal consists of electromagnetic radiation, but then so does the field created by the coils in a transformer, motor or generator.

What happens if a magnet is exposed to radiation?

Exposure to radiation can potentially affect the magnetic properties of a magnet by altering the alignment of its magnetic domains. The level of impact would depend on the type and intensity of the radiation. In general, low levels of radiation may have minimal effects, while high levels can cause demagnetization or changes in magnetic strength.

Is there any magnetic effect on light radiation?

Light, or electromagnetic radiation, is generally unaffected by magnetic fields. Magnetic fields don't "bend" light, though photons will follow the curvature of spacetime around massive gravitational fields.


Which kind of radiation is not defected by a magnetic field?

Gamma radiation is not affected by a magnetic field because it is composed of photons, which are uncharged particles. The magnetic field influences charged particles, such as electrons or protons, by causing them to curve, but it has no effect on photons.


What is electron magnetic radiation?

Electron magnetic radiation, also known as synchrotron radiation, is an electromagnetic radiation emitted by charged particles, such as electrons, when they are accelerated in a curved path or in a magnetic field. These radiations cover a wide range of wavelengths from radio waves to X-rays and are commonly used in scientific research, especially in fields like particle physics and structural biology.
