Here's a tip for getting around in the world of Q and A: When you ask somebody to
pick the correct item out of a list of multiple choices for you, it's a really good idea
and a gracious gesture if you let them see the list.

What electromagnetic wave is located between infrared radiation and ultraviolet radiation in the visible spectrum?
The term "electromagnetic" is the wrong term. The correct term is "photoelectric". Aslo the phrase between the infrared and ultraviolet should be stated: between the thresholds of infrared and ultra-violet light. So the correct question would be: What is the region of the photoelectric spectrum that lies between the thresholds of infrared and ultra-violet light? Answer: The visible light spectrum
Is radioactive energy the same as nuclear energy?
No. Dangerous radiation is produced by radioactivity, but equally dangerous radiation can also be produced by other means such as an X-ray machine. Radioactivity is the name we give to the processes where an unstable nucleus of an atom changes into a different nucleus. Particles such as alpha, beta and gamma are given off during the change; we refer to these particles as nuclear radiation. Radiation is technically any form of energy that can travel through space in the form of waves. So, light and microwaves and radio/TV broadcasting are all technically forms of radiation, and are not produced by radioactivity.
Why is the statement speed of light is 300 million miles per second is not always correct?
First of all it's 300 million metres per second (299,792,458 m/s). this is in a vacuum when the speed of electromagnetic radiation is at its greatest.
What is called when heat energy goes through space or a vacuum?
Radiation ------------------------------------- Yes the above is correct. When something is hot it gives of Infrared radiation, part of the electromagnetic spectrum like light, but a part that our eyes can not see (we can however feel the warmth on our skin). Infrared radiation is the only aspect of heat that can go through space or a vacuum because the absence of matter (stuff) in a vacuum means that convection and conduction are not possible.
Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum?
Yes, that's correct. They certainly can!
Which part of the solar electromagnetic spectrum has the maximum intensity?
!WRONG!infrared radiation!CORRECT AWNSER!visible light radiation
All electromagnetic radiation can travel thought empty space and travels at the same speed?
true
What does gamma radiation consist of a Electromagnetic waves b Electrons c Helium nuclei d Hydrogen nuclei?
Option 'a' is correct.
What electromagnetic waves are produced by stars and galaxies?
Since all such emissions are "black body radiation" (or pretty close), the correct answer is "light". All wavelengths... from the longest radio waves, to very energetic gamma radiation.
Which has the longest wavelength 1ultraviolet radiation 2gamma radiation 3 visible radiation 4 infrared radiation?
The sequence of the listing in the question is correct. From longest to shortest wavelength, these four categories of EM radiation do in fact list in the order: 1). infrared 2). visible 3). ultraviolet 4). X-rays
How much energy is carried away from a supernova in the form of neutrinos compared to the energy a supernova emits in the form of electromagnetic radiation?
About 100 times more. (Source: I did my homework on Mastering Astronomy, and this was the correct answer.)
Which of the following is the best reason to classify streptococcus in the lactobacillales?
The correct answer is: rRNA sequences

Symptoms are caused by radiation-destroying cells
