Gamma rays. Gamma rays are photons, but very high energy photons. They are the photons generated by processes in the nuclei of atoms.
highest frequency / shortest wavelength / same speed as all other photons.
blue
False they have the shortest wavelength (period)
yes, by far.Gamma rays have the highest proton energy in the universe.Nothing is compared to gamma rays when it comes to energy.

Shortest wavelength means the highest frequency, meaning the photons have the highest energy. That is color violet. The violet light colors the skin brown. Red light with lower energy photons cannot do that.
The highest frequency electromagnetic waves are called gamma rays. The waves are emitted from nuclei .
The highest energy photons are all found at the "top" of the electromagnetic spectrum. That's the end populated by photons with the shortest wavelengths (and, therefore, the shortest periods) and the highest frequencies. These photons, these extremely energetic electromagnetic waves, are generated within the nuclei of atoms and released during nuclear events. Subatomic particles actually generate the photons as they go through changes. Stars (most of them) can produce photons in these energies continuously, or in bursts. We frequently refer to photons of extreme energies as gamma rays. We can stimulate nuclei to generate these high energy photons in the nuclear physics laboratory, and it's usually done with some sort of nuclear accelerator. We take protons - or whole atomic nuclei - and speed them up to near light speed and slam these nuclear bullets into targets (or other particles). Photons of the highest energies are produced. As one can imagine, shielding for containment is a big concern, as these energetic photons will punch through steel, concrete and earth. Some links are provided.
The energy of visible light can be measured in organized packets called photons. These photons have discrete values of energy, meaning there is exact amounts of energy these have, and don't vary in decimal places.

Photons are absorbed by ozone. These photons are of UV.
