What type of em radiation has shortest wavelength and most energy?
Gamma radiation
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.
Energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. Most often associated with a wavelength that is visible to the eye.?
light energy
Which wavelength range in the electromagnetic spectrum has been the most fruitful in the search for organic molecules in space?
infrared radiation
What type of em radiation has shortest wavelength and most energy?
Gamma radiation
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 type of electromagnetic wave has the shortest wavelenght?
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength compared to most of other electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have high penetrating power and are high in frequency. Exposure to this type of radiation can cause many health complications.

What wavelength of radiation is reradiated by the Earth upward?
Depending on the temperature of course, most of the radiation is centered between 5 and 20 microns in wavelength.
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).
Which wavelength of electromagnetic radiation carries the most energy?
ultraviolet ---novanet :)
What type of radiation causes most ionisation?
The electromagnetic radiation most capable of ionizing is the radiation with the highest energy per quantum. That in turn implies the radiation with the highest frequency (shortest wavelength). The highest-energy end of the electromagnetic spectrum is the region we call "gamma rays". We can't generate these, and the gamma rays we observe all originate in radioactive nuclear processes.
What is the most readily scattered color of light?
The most readiy scattered colour of light is violet as this colour has shortest wavelength.....
What wavelength of electromagnetic radiation carries the most energy?
Gamma rays have the most energy per photon.
What wavelength of maximum intensity does the Sun emit?
The Sun emits most of its radiation in a wavelength band between 0.1 and 4.0 micrometers (µm).
