I assume by light rays, you mean visible light rays. In this case, gamma rays have shorter wave lengths.

What waves has a shorter wavelength than visible light waves?
UV, x-rays, gamma rays.
What is the difference between visible light and gamma waves?
Gamma rays are of higher energy and much much shorter wavelength than visible light.
Is Radio waves are shorter than waves of visible light?
Yes, radio waves have a longer wavelength than visible light. They are part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
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.
Out of radio waves ultra violet rays infra red rays and micro waves which of the radiations has shortest wavelength?
The answer is Ultraviolet Waves. But really the shortest so far found is Gamma Rays. They are a million million million of those Gamma Rays going past you each minute. Ultraviolet rays are shorter than regular light that we see, but not shorter than Gamma Rays.
Do radio waves microwaves and waves all have longer wavelengths than visible light?
Radio and microwaves are longer than visible light. So are heat (infrared) waves. Ultraviolet waves are shorter than visible light. So are X-rays and gamma rays.
What has bigger wave lengths microwaves gamma raysultraviolet wavesinfrared waves?
Microwaves
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 radio waves microwaves and ultraviolet waves all have longer wavelength than visible light?
Radio and microwaves are longer than visible light. So are heat (infrared) waves. Ultraviolet waves are shorter than visible light. So are X-rays and gamma rays.
How does the wavelength of gamma rays compare to the wavelength of visible light?
It is electromagnetic radiation, which is the same in composition as visible light but has a much higher frequency/shorter wavelength, and will do damage to any biological material it passes through. Both travel at the same speed ('velocity of light') but gamma radiation can penetrate material opaque to visible light.
What type of word describes the electromagnet waves with wavelengths that are shorter than visible light?
Shorter wavelengths means higher frequency, and electromagnetic waves with higher energy. Beyond the blue end of the visible light you have ultraviolet rays; X-rays; and gamma-rays, in that order.
What electromagnetic wave has a wavelength shorter than a microwave but longer than light?
Waves the have a wavelength slightly shorter than the visible light are as follows: 1. Ultraviolet 2. X-rays 3. Gamma rays
