Mainly because that's what they are. Exactly the same physical phenomenon
as radio, microwave, heat radiation, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays, but
with wavelengths in the narrow range that your eyes can detect.
Transverse and Compressional electromagetic waves Another opinion: No electromagnetic waves are compressional waves. They're all transverse. I think what the question was looking for is: -- Heat and visible light -- Radio waves and X-rays -- Ultraviolet and gamma rays etc.
An electromagnetic ray is a form of energy that travels through space as waves. It includes various forms of radiation such as visible light, radio waves, microwaves, X-rays, and gamma rays. These rays differ in their wavelengths and frequencies, leading to a range of applications in technology and communication.
Yellow light has the lowest frequency among the electromagnetic waves listed. The frequency of electromagnetic waves increases from radio waves to gamma rays, with yellow light falling in the visible light spectrum.
"electromagnetic spectrum"
Gamma rays and X-rays are considered high-energy waves in the electromagnetic spectrum due to their short wavelengths and high frequencies. They are capable of penetrating through materials and have the potential to cause ionization in atoms.
A piece of wood is not considered electromagnetic energy. Electromagnetic energy refers to the energy carried by electromagnetic waves, such as light, radio waves, and X-rays. Wood does not emit or interact with electromagnetic waves in the same way that energy does.

The waves on the electromagnetic spectrum include radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet waves, X-rays, and gamma rays.
The electromagnetic waves in order of increasing wavelength are: gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared light, microwaves, and radio waves.
The electromagnetic spectrum
radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet waves, x rays, gamma rays
Electromagnetic waves (same as visible light).
Light waves are a type of electromagnetic wave that falls within the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum includes all types of electromagnetic waves, ranging from radio waves to gamma rays. Light waves are a specific range of electromagnetic waves that are visible to the human eye.
Yellow light has the lowest frequency among the electromagnetic waves listed. The frequency of electromagnetic waves increases from radio waves to gamma rays, with yellow light falling in the visible light spectrum.
The common name for electromagnetic waves is just that: "electromagnetic waves". There is no other commonly used term. Specific parts of the spectrum have common names, for example light (or visible light), radio waves, x-rays, etc. - but none of this means exactly the same as "electromagnetic waves". Visible light, for instance, is just one type (or frequency range) of electromagnetic waves.
The entire range of electromagnetic waves includes gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves. These waves vary in frequency and energy, with gamma rays having the highest energy and radio waves having the lowest.
