The peak wavelength emitted by the Sun falls in the visible spectrum, specifically in the green part of the spectrum around 500 nm. This is why the Sun appears yellow-white to our eyes.
Radiation is a form of electromagnetic energy, the light as we saw is part of the whole electromagnetic spectrum of around 400 - 700 nm. When we generally speak of electromagnetic wave length we usually refer to radio to microwave of wavelength around 10-2 to 103 m but the whole span of wavelength from gamma ray to radio wave counted as electromagnetic wave.
Waves with a wavelength of 10 millimeters would fall within the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Microwaves have wavelengths ranging from about 1 millimeter to 1 meter. These waves are commonly used in microwave ovens and for communication purposes, such as in satellite transmissions.
The electromagnetic spectrum is the full range of known electromagnetic radiation, ranging from radio waves to gamma rays. Radio waves are at one end of the spectrum with the longest wavelength and the lowest frequency. Gamma rays at the other end have the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency. (frequency = wave oscillations per second) Most electromagnetic radiation can fall into one of the following categories: Radiowave Microwave Infrared Visible (light) Ultraviolet X-rays Gamma Rays [This list is in increasing order of frequency)
Radiant heat rays are a type of electromagnetic wave that fall within the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. They have longer wavelengths than visible light, and they can be emitted by any object with a temperature above absolute zero.
A 30 nanometer electromagnetic wave would fall within the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Its short wavelength indicates high frequency and energy, making it potentially harmful to living organisms in large doses.

Visible light falls between the wavelengths of 380 nm and 760 nm in the electromagnetic spectrum.
The human eye can only detect electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectrum, Typically, wavelengths of 390 to 750 nm fall within the visible spectrum. Radiation with these wavelengths are called visible light or simply light.
Radiant heat rays are a type of electromagnetic wave that fall within the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. They have longer wavelengths than visible light, and they can be emitted by any object with a temperature above absolute zero.

Yes, microwaves are a type of electromagnetic radiation, also known as radiant energy. They fall in the radiofrequency region of the electromagnetic spectrum. When emitted by a microwave oven, they are used to heat and cook food through the absorption of the radiation by water molecules in the food.
The electromagnetic spectrum is a range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. Light, the waves commonly referred to, falls within a specific region of this spectrum, primarily in the visible spectrum. This includes wavelengths of light that our eyes can detect, ranging from approximately 400-700 nanometers.
