Light is known as electromagnetic radiation because it has two complementary components which were found to be a magnetic field wave in synchronous motion with an electric field wave.
Radiation
Particles of light are called photons. They are the basic unit of light and electromagnetic radiation.
Visible light waves.
Electromagnetic radiation.
Yes, a photon of light is a form of electromagnetic radiation.

because it resides in the electromagnetic spectrum which is the measure of light.
Visible light waves.
Electromagnetic radiation.
Ultraviolet (UV).
Heat waves traveling at the speed of light are called RADIATION! :)
A radiowave is an example of electromagnetic radiation. What most humans call light - what is produced by the sun or a light bulb - is actually called visible light. Visible light is another form of electromagnetic radiation, but with higher energies. Scientists use the word light as a substitue for the whole generalization of every kind of electromagnetic radiation.
Yes, a photon of light is a form of electromagnetic radiation.
The arrangement of electromagnetic radiation is called the electromagnetic spectrum. This spectrum includes all forms of electromagnetic radiation, such as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays, each with different wavelengths and frequencies.
Photons are bundles of radiation that have no mass. They are the quanta of light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation.
The visible spectrum is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to (can be detected by) the human eye. Electromagnetic radiation in this range of wavelengths is called visible light or simply light.
