When we use the term "radiation" as regards energy, probably the first thing that comes to mind is electromagnetic energy. Electromagnetic (EM) energy is often called electromagnetic radiation. We know that this could be radio waves, microwave energy, infrared light, light from the visual spectrum, ultraviolet light, X-rays or gamma rays. All of these are forms of electromagnetic radiation, and a link can be found below for more information.

What is a short length of wave that travels?
This is often called a "pulse".This is often called a "pulse".This is often called a "pulse".This is often called a "pulse".
What does radiate mean?
Radiation is the process by which energy is emitted from a source and propagated through the surrounding medium, or the energy involved in this process. Radiation consists of a flow of atomic or subatomic particles or of waves. Familiar examples are light (a form of electromagnetic radiation) and sound (a form of acoustic radiation). Both electromagnetic and acoustic radiation can be described as waves with a range of frequencies and intensities. Electromagnetic radiation is also often treated as discrete packets of energy, called photons. All matter is constantly bombarded by radiation from cosmic and terrestrial sources, and radioactive elements emit several types of radiation .
Heat transfer by electromagnetic waves?
radiation
What kind of high energy radiation is released from a nuclear reaction?
We often see gamma rays released in nuclear reactions
Is kinetic energy often called stored energy?
No, Stored energy is Potential Energy. Kinetic Energy is already in motion.
What is sunlight's energy called?
Sunlight is electromagnetic radiation often referred to as solar power.

What is the production and transmission of radiant energy?
. . is often accomplished using light bulbs. Radiant energy is commonly used at wavelengths from 30 km down to the wavelength of x-rays and below. It is usually described as electromagnetic radiation.
Energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. Most often associated with a wavelength that is visible to the eye.?
light energy
What energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation most often associated with a wavelength that is visible to the eye?
light energy
What else occurs when energy travels from one place to another?
it often changes form.

What happens to molecules if they receive electromagnetic radiation?
They are excited and their energy increases and possibly ejects an electron and change their size and shape..They will often absorb part of the radiation; in that case, their energy will increase.
Solar radiation warms the surface of the planet and then is radiated back in the form of?
Electro-magnetic Radiant Energy, that can be referred to as the electromagnetic radiation in all the the EM bands. As well, the Solar wind contains physical particles that bombard - in a streaming function - the Surface of the Earth and produce the Aurora Borealis.
Which mechanism of heat transfer can work in a vacuum?
Heat is a form of energy. Atoms of a certain material begin to tremble very fast when heated and pass this movement on to other atoms. So I think -not shure, heat/ energy can only be passed through material, and so it is not possible in a vacuum.
What is radioactivelyin physics?
Some atoms are unstable and decay over a time period. The decaying is called radioactivity. Generally speaking, radiation decay of an atom usually (often) involves beta radiation (electrons), gamma radiation (very high energy light), and alpha radiation (helium nucleus). Atoms are identified by the number of protons (a one-proton atom is called a hydrogen atom, even if it has one or more neutrons).
Do microwaves absorb Radiation?
Radiation describes any process by which energy emitted by one body travels through a medium or through space, to be absorbed by another body. Radiation is often associated with ionizing radiation (e.g., as occurring in nuclear weapons, nuclear reactors, and radioactive substances). However it also refers to electromagnetic radiation (i.e., radio waves, infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet light, and X-rays). Microwaves are electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength between that of radio waves and infrared light. I will place a link below to show this.
