Why is radiation with shortest wavelength the most powerful?
In our Universe, EM radiation can only come in discrete chunks called "photons." The energy of each individual photon depends on the frequency of the EM radiation. Frequency depends on wavelength (or vice-versa): the shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency. Thus, short wavelength photons have more energy. That's just how our Universe operates, whether or not we like it.
What wavelength of electromagnetic radiation carries the most energy?
Gamma rays have the most energy per photon.
Which type of EM radiation has the shortest wavelength and the most engery?
The shortest wave is a Gamma wave
Energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. Most often associated with a wavelength that is visible to the eye.?
light energy
What color is visible light sprectrum has the most energy per photon?
A photon's energy is directly proportional to its frequency (inversely proportional to its wavelength).In any given interval of the spectrum, the highest frequency (shortest wavelength) carries the most energy.For visible light, that corresponds to the violet end of the 'rainbow'. The last color your eyes can perceiveat that end is the color with the most energy per photon.
What type of EM radiation has the shortest wavelength and the most energy?
gamma rays
Why is radiation with the shortest wavelength actually the most powerful?
I assume you are talking about electromagnetic radiation.If the wavelength is shorter, the frequency is larger. And the energy per photon is directly proportional to the frequency.

What wavelength of electromagnetic radiation carries the most energy?
Gamma rays have the most energy per photon.
True or false visibe light with the shortest wavelength is red light?
No, red is the longest wavelength of visible light, with the lowest frequency and the least energy. Violet light has the shortest wavelenght, with the highest frequency and the most energy (of visible light).
What are the most energy rich wavelengths of light?
The most energy rich colors of light are those with the shortest wavelength - violet or blue

What is the shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum carries the greatest amount of energy?
The shortest wavelengths have the most energy because it has the highest frequency. A high energy light will have a shorter wavelength than a low energy light. If the wavelength goes down, then the frequency goes up. When calculating energy in the equation, E=hv, frequency (v) is the variable, not the wavelength. So in the equation, if you wanted a more energy (E), you would have the frequency be large. For the frequency to be big, then the wavelength has to be low.
