Alpha rays are not part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Alpha particles are the same as helium nuclei, and are given off in nuclear decay.
False. The Sun radiates electromagnetic energy in all parts of the spectrum, not just the tiny sliver that is "visible light". Additionally, the Sun gives off hard radiation in the form of alpha and beta particles, and a considerable "solar wind" of charged atomic nuclei.
Alpha radiation is not electromagnetic. It's a stream of helium nuclei.
We know that gamma rays are electromagnetic energy, and they'll occupy a place on the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. You can locate gamma rays right at the top end of the EM spectrum because their frequencies are so high (or their wavelengths are so short, if you prefer).
Gamma rays are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Not exactly. Actually, no. Photons are chunks of electromagnetic waves. As such, they do not produce EM waves, they ARE those waves. A photon inter-acting with some other particle could result in other photons -- ie, a different kind of EM wave -- being created.
No, the electromagnetic spectrum includes a wide range of electromagnetic waves, not just visible light. It also includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. Each type of wave has specific properties and uses.
Alpha and beta radiation are not included in the electromagnetic spectrum because they are composed of particles (alpha particles are helium nuclei, beta particles are electrons or positrons) and not electromagnetic waves like those included in the spectrum (e.g., radio waves, microwaves, visible light). Alpha and beta radiation are forms of nuclear radiation emitted from the decaying nucleus of an atom.

Signs piont to no you stupid are somthing?
Radiation carries electromagnetic energy, such as visible light, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, and radio waves. It can also carry particles, such as alpha and beta particles, along with energy.
Gamma rays are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
No, plutonium does not naturally emit infrared waves. Plutonium is a radioactive element that primarily emits alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays as part of its decay process. Infrared waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and are typically associated with heat radiation rather than radioactive decay.

Electromagnetic radiation is a continuous spectrum of wavelengths from thousands of kilometres to wavelengths the size of fractions of an atom. They are all the same kind of radiation - the differences are only the wavelengths. They range from the longest - radio waves, then microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultra violet light, X-rays and gamma rays. The sun emits all of these apart from gamma rays.
