"Gamma" is the name given to the electromagnetic radiation with the highest frequency (shortest wavelength, highest energy).
The electromagnetic waves which have the shortest wavelength (and thus, the highest frequency, and the highest energy per photon) are called gamma rays.
Violet for light, gamma rays for entire spectrum.
x rays and gamma rays
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.

Violet for light, gamma rays for entire spectrum.
Gamma waves have the shortest wavelength of any electromagnetic wave in the EM spectrum, the shortest wavelength means highest cyclic frequency, and highest intensity of any EM wave. (energy transferance by gamma waves is the strongest) *intensity is a measure of the height of the sine wave as opposed to to length, essentially more energy in a smaller crossectional area.
x rays and gamma rays
From longest wave length to shortest (least energy to most, lowest frequency to highest) the spectrum is: Radio & TV - Microwaves - Infrared - Visible Light - Ultraviolet - X-Rays - Gamma Rays

shortest wavelengths
The energy of EM radiation depends on its frequency, and the lowest frequency corresponds to the lowest energy. Radio waves are at the low end of the energy and frequency spectrum.
