By definition, gamma is the highest classification of electromagnetic radiation. The highest energy rays are from cosmic radiation and are called "very high-energy gamma rays."

What waves has a shorter wavelength than visible light waves?
UV, x-rays, gamma rays.
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.
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.
Is there a ray with shorter wavelength than the gamma ray?
Cosmic rays have shorter wavelength than gamma rays
Which wave has a shorter frequency than gamma rays?
We don't have a name for anything with wavelengths shorter than gamma rays.
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.
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
Why do gamma rays have higher energy?
Because they have a shorter wavelength and higher frequency than the other waves and rays in the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum
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.
What kind of waves are gamma rays and radio waves?
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves and are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Other electromagnetic waves in the electromagnetic spectrum are microwaves, visible light, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, and 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.
