Want this question answered?
Energy is equal to Planck's constant times the speed of light divided by the wavelength of the light. E=h*c / lambda. So the electromagnetic radiation with the largest wavelength will correspond to the lowest energy. Since radio waves have the largest wavelength (about 1,000m) they will have the lowest energy!
Gamma rays have the most energy per photon.
light energy
-- Compare: They're both electromagnetic radiation. -- Contrast: X-rays have longer wavelength, lower frequency, and carry less energy, than gamma rays.
In Electromagnetic radiation when the wavelength increases the energy transmitted by the wave decreases. E=hf where h is a constant and f is the frequency.
inversely
... shorter in wavelength.
The wavelength, E = hc/wavelength.

It is electromagnetic radiation just like radio, microwaves, visible light etc.. except it has the highest frequency and energy and shortest wavelength of all electromagnetic radiation.

E = hc/l
In Electromagnetic radiation when the wavelength increases the energy transmitted by the wave decreases. E=hf where h is a constant and f is the frequency.
