Electromagnetic waves whose photons carry the highest energy also have the:?
shortest wavelengths
What are electromagnetic waves with the longest wave lengths and the electromagnetic waves with the shortest wave lengths?
The longest wavelength corresponds to long wave radio, I think the longest used is about 2000 meters. The shortest are gamma rays, which occur in radioactivity, these are from about 10-11 meters down.
What electromagnetic waves have the shortest wavelengths?
Gamma rays. Those also have the highest frequency, and the highest energy per photon.
What are the electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequency called?
Gamma Rays
What type of radiation has the shortest wave length?
If this question if referring to electromagnetic radiation (light) then the sun probably emits very small amounts of gamma rays, which have the shortest wavelengths of all electromagnetic radiation as well as larger amounts of x-Rays (the next wavelength larger). However, there are a variety of particles with larger masses and higher energies than that of photons. These particles are known as cosmic rays, which include electrons, muons, protons, neutrons, and even whole helium nuclei (called alpha particles). These higher mass particles can travel at near-light-speed velocities and as a result have very short wavelengths.

Which electromagnetic waves have the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies?
Those are called gamma rays, or gamma radiation.
What is the radiations of the electromagnetic spectrum that include the shortest wavelengths are?
... the ones we call "gamma rays".

If colors have different wavelengths do they have different frequencies and temperatures?
Yes, light is electromagnetic waves. The longest wavelengths have the lowest frequencies and the lowest temperatures. The shortest wavelengths have the highest frequencies and the highest temperatures.
What two forms of electromagnetic radiation have the shortest wavelengths?
The ones we call 'X-rays' and the ones we call 'gamma rays'.
