Generally speaking, it is gamma rays that have a higher frequency (and energy) than X-rays. The upper end of the X-ray spectrum and the lower end of the gamma ray spectrum enjoy a bit of overlap, but the X-ray does not have a higher frequency than the gamma ray.

Which has a higher frequency gamma rays or radio rays?
Gamma rays have a much higher frequency then radio waves.
Do xrays and gamma rays have higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays?
Because that term is the name we have given to electromagnetic radiation with the highest observed frequency. If they had lower frequency, then we would call them by another name. And if they're called by that name, then they must be rays of the highest observed frequency, all because that is how we have defined them.
How does a gamma wave differ from a microwave?
The wavelength is far shorter in gamma rays, and they have a higher frequency, and their photons are much higher in energy than those of microwaves.
Which has higher frequency ultraviolet or infrared?
Infrared and Ultraviolet light fall just outside human vision. The frequency of infrared light is less than the frequency of visible red light. There are different definitions and classifications of infrared, but the frequency ranges from 3 x 10 11 Hz (300 Gigahertz or 1000 micrometer wavelength) to about 4.3 x 10 14 Hz (0.7 micrometer wavelength). Ultraviolet's frequency is greater than the frequency of Violet light. This can range from 7.5 x 10 14 Hz (400 nanometer wavelength) to 3.0 x 10 16 Hz (10 nanometer wavelength). See related links.
What color has a wavelength shorter than blue?
The colors with a wavelength shorter than blue are the violet or purple colors. They have shorter wavelengths because they are higher on the electromagnetic spectrum, meaning they have higher frequency. They also have higher energy, too.
A frequency higher than x-rays?
Gamma rays
Does visible light have a higher frequency than gamma rays?
No, visible light has a lower frequency than gamma rays. Gamma rays are the highest frequency of electromagnetic energy. They are above X-rays.
What has a higher frequency gamma rays or visible ray?
Gamma rays have a much higher frequency than visible light with ultraviolet and x-rays between them.
Which has a higher frequency gamma rays or radio rays?
Gamma rays have a much higher frequency then radio waves.
Which band of the electromagnetic spectrum has a frequency higher than x-rays?
Gamma rays
Do X-rays have a higher or lower frequency than light waves?
Light waves and X-rays are both forms of electromagnetic energy. X-rays, however, have higher energy (higher frequency and shorter wavelength) than (visible) light.
Do both x rays and gamma rays have higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays?
Both Gamma Rays and X Rays have a much high frequency that Ultraviolet Rays.
Types of radio waves?
Both gamma rays and radio waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, but gamma rays are much higher frequency (shorter wavelength) than radio waves. Visible light is lower frequency than gamma and higher than radio.
Do ultra violet waves have a higher or lower frequency than gamma rays?
lower
Does Gamma Rays have higher frequency than Light?
yup, much higher. roughly 1000 times higher.
Do xrays and gamma rays have higher frequencies than ultraviolet rays?
Because that term is the name we have given to electromagnetic radiation with the highest observed frequency. If they had lower frequency, then we would call them by another name. And if they're called by that name, then they must be rays of the highest observed frequency, all because that is how we have defined them.
What is higher in frequency and has shorter wavelengths than visible light?
We know that ultra-violet light, X-rays and gamma rays have higher energy (higher frequency and shorter wavelengths) than visible light.
