The range of radiant energy can be arranged in order of energy from high to low as follows: gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared light, microwaves, and radio waves. In terms of wavelength, the order would be reversed.
Microwave radiation is the form of radiant energy used in radar systems. Radar systems emit pulses of microwave radiation and then detect the reflections of these pulses off of objects in order to determine their location, speed, and other properties.
The electromagnetic spectrum arranges different types of radiation based on their wavelengths or frequencies, ranging from high-energy gamma rays and X-rays to mid-range ultraviolet, visible light, and infrared radiation, to low-energy microwaves and radio waves. This arrangement shows the full range of electromagnetic waves, each with unique properties and applications.
Physics. The distribution of a characteristic of a physical system or phenomenon, especially: The distribution of energy emitted by a radiant source, as by an incandescent body, arranged in order of wavelengths.The distribution of atomic or subatomic particles in a system, as in a magnetically resolved molecular beam, arranged in order of masses.A graphic or photographic representation of such a distribution.A range of values of a quantity or set of related quantities.A broad sequence or range of related qualities, ideas, or activities: the whole spectrum of 20th-century thought.
No, radiant energy can travel through a vacuum because it does not rely on a medium like solid, liquid, or gas for propagation. This is why we can receive energy from the Sun on Earth, which is separated from us by the vacuum of space.

Radiant heating is not dependant on a single source of energy in-order to operate. Standard gas or oil fired boilers, wood fired boilers, solar water heaters are some of the energy sources that can be used to heat the liquid. It is uniquely more energy efficient as it eliminates duct losses by providing heat to a room via infrared radiation. This unique feature makes Radiant heating more appealing to allergy sufferers as it does not distribute allergins giving this type of heating a distinct advantage over forced air systems.
Basically Electromagnetic waves but less powerful than microwaves and visible rays. Called radio waves their range of wavelengths are of the order of a few centi-metres to metres (atleast twice the length of ur receiver antenna)

Anything that is not at absolute zero (0 K, i.e. everything) will emit radiant energy. Radiant energy is caused by electron configuration changes within the substance, whether it be liquid, solid, or gas. It is transported between objects via electromagnetic waves, which means that it does not require any matter between the two objects in order to transfer energy. Examples would be the sun emitting radiation to the earth through space, or a radio antenna emitting radiation to your car's stereo. There doesn't need to be air between the antenna and your car in order for you to pick up a signal.Radiate Energy can be carried by light too!Radiation Transfers EnergyEnergy can be transferred even though there are no particles to transfer the energy. This type of energy transfer is called radiation. Energy that is transferred in this way is called radiant energy or electromagnetic radiation (EMR for short).Radiant energy travels in waves (much like a tsunami).These waves can travel through space, air, glass and many other materials. There are different forms of EMR, including radio waves, microwaves, visible light and X-rays.If the energy source is a warm object, like the sun, some of the thermal energy is transferred as a type of EMR called infrared radiation (IR) or 'heat radiation'.Properties (characteristics) of Radiant Energy are:Waves of radiant energy can travel in a vacuum.All waves travel, across empty space, at an extremely high speed (300 Million m/s).Radiant energy travels in a straight line.they behave like wavesthey can be absorbed and reflected by objectsAll kinds of radiant energy interact with matter:Reflection occurs if the energy cannot penetrate the surface of the material it comes into contact with.Absorption occurs if the energy penetrates part way into the object.Transmission occurs if the energy penetrates completely, passing through the object with no absorption of energy.Absorbing / Emitting EnergyDull dark objects absorb radiant energy when they are cool, and emit radiant energy when they are hot. (eg. asphalt sidewalk)Light, shiny objects or surfaces do not absorb radiant energy readily and do not emit radiant energy readily. (eq. ice surface)Radiant emission of energy from the body depends on surface area (smaller areas help to retain heat, whereas, larger areas radiate heat). This is evident in the adaptations of many species of animals who have successfully adapted to their environments.(desert animals - eg. Fox p. 140) (killer whales-The killer whale's fusiform body shape and reduced limb size decreases the amount of surface area exposed to the external environment. This helps killer whales conserve body heat.) The polar bear has black skin to absorb radiant energy with transparent hair that transmitts ultraviolet radiation to the skin.Most radiation (82%) people are exposed, to comes from natural sources. By far the largest source is radon, an odorless, colorless gas given off by natural radium in the Earth's crust. Artificial radiation, mostly from medical uses and consumer products, accounts for about eighteen percent of our total exposure. The nuclear industry is responsible for less than one percent.Radiation can be detected, measured and controlled.The measurement of radiation is by the amount of radioactivity presentor the amount of radiant energy given off.Radiation in the EnvironmentRadiation is a natural part of our environment. Humans have always lived on earth in the presence of radiation. Natural radiation reaches earth from outer space and continuously radiates from the rocks, soil, and water on the earth. Background radiation is that which is naturally and inevitably present in our environment. Levels of this can vary greatly. People living in granite areas or on mineraliscd sands receive more terrestrial radiation than others, while people living or working at high altitudes receive more cosmic radiation. A lot of our natural exposure is due to radon. a gas which seeps from the earth's crust and is present in the air we breathe.
