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 have shorter wavelength's than microwaves?

X-rays and gamma rays have shorter wavelengths than microwaves.


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.


How the period and frequency of electromagnetic waves change between gamma rays and microwaves?

Gamma rays have a shorter wavelength and higher frequency compared to microwaves. This means that gamma rays have a higher frequency and shorter period than microwaves. As you move from gamma rays to microwaves, the period of the electromagnetic waves increases while the frequency decreases.


Is it true that the highest energy electromagnetic waves are UV rays?

No, the highest energy electromagnetic waves are gamma rays, which have the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies. UV rays have shorter wavelengths than visible light but lower energy 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.


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


Is there a ray with shorter wavelength than the gamma ray?

Cosmic rays have shorter wavelength than gamma rays


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 electromagnetic waves have a wavelength shorter that a single water molecule?

Your comparison attempt is confusing. Water molecules don't have 'waves' by themselves. The ocean has waves, H2O does not. We use the behavior of ocean and sound waves to determine the behavior and makeup of light waves. Humans can only see a portion of the existing electromagnetic spectrum. X-rays and Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths. Radio waves have the longest.
