The EM spectrum, is based upon the emission of photons at different wavelengths. Visible light is a small part of this spectrum.
As all of the spectrum travels at the speed of light - C. The frequencies for different wavelenghts of photons will be different.
The creation of these different parts of the spectrum are from different oscillations (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum#Rationale) For instance radio waves come from the oscillation of electrons in an antenna.
Limitations on these oscillations cause the limitation in the spectrum, at one end there is radiowaves, limited by electron oscillation and the at the other side is gamma from the creation of particle antiparticle pairs.
Gamma Rays are found on the upper boundary of the EM spectrum above all other regions, as they have the shortest wavelength.
That's the name we give to the radiation with the
shortest wavelengths/highest frequencies.
No, gamma rays have the highest energy of all the waves in the Electromagnetic Spectrum.
Gamma rays
The highest frequencies of waves are gamma rays.
gamma rays :D
Generally speaking, it is gamma rays that have a higher frequency (and energy) than X-rays. The upper end of the X-ray spectrum and the lower end of the gamma ray spectrum enjoy a bit of overlap, but the X-ray does not have a higher frequency than the gamma ray.
Gamma rays have energies higher than that of X-rays. It is true that there is some overlap of the upper end of the X-ray spectrum and the lower end of the gamma ray spectrum, but the X-ray spectrum falls below that of the gamma ray spectrum. For these reasons, if someone asks if X-rays can have higher energies than gamma rays, the answer would be in the negative.
Gamma rays
Gamma rays are at the end of the spectrum
X-Rays and Ultraviolet, along with Infrared, Infragreen, Gamma-rays, Beta-Rays and others are all part of the invisible portion of the light spectrum.
Gamma and x-rays are two types of rays on the electro magnetic spectrum. The amount of energy used by the rays increases as you go up the electro magnetic spectrum. The weakest of the rays is a radio wave and the strongest is the gamma which will penetrate lead.
X-rays and Gamma rays are the two most penetrating rays in the electromagnetic spectrum.
No, gamma rays have the highest energy of all the waves in the Electromagnetic Spectrum.

The highest frequencies of waves are gamma rays.
Both are the parts of electromagnetic spectrum.
