Gamma radiation
Gamma Waves
"Gamma" is the name given to the electromagnetic radiation with the highest frequency (shortest wavelength, highest energy).
Shortest wavelength corresponds to highest energy, and this region of the EM spectrum contains high energy radiation such as X-rays and gamma rays.The part with the highest frequencies ... the end where the gamma rays are.
No, gamma rays have the least wavelength of all electromagnetic waves ,their wavelength ranges from 6 x 10-13 to 1 x 10-10 meters.

A gamma ray is an electromagnetic wave. It has the highest frequency (and energy) as well as the shortest wavelength on any wave on the electromagnetic spectrum.
A gamma ray has no mass as it is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is similar in properties to light, it is just at a smaller wavelength.
No, gamma rays have the least wavelength of all electromagnetic waves ,their wavelength ranges from 6 x 10-13 to 1 x 10-10 meters.

A gamma ray is an electromagnetic wave. It has the highest frequency (and energy) as well as the shortest wavelength on any wave on the electromagnetic spectrum.
The electromagnetic spectrum is the full range of known electromagnetic radiation, ranging from radio waves to gamma rays. Radio waves are at one end of the spectrum with the longest wavelength and the lowest frequency. Gamma rays at the other end have the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency. (frequency = wave oscillations per second) Most electromagnetic radiation can fall into one of the following categories: Radiowave Microwave Infrared Visible (light) Ultraviolet X-rays Gamma Rays [This list is in increasing order of frequency)
If by greatest frequency you mean highest frequency, we know that the upper end of the electromagnetic spectrum has the greatest frequency. This is the home to the gamma rays. They have the highest frequency, shortest wavelength, and the greatest energy.
Gamma ray bursts have the shortest wavelengths of any radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum. Therefore, x-rays have the longer wavelength.
