Which type of electromagnetic waves has the highest frequency?

Gamma Rays are the highest frequency waves. Lower than that are X-rays then Ultraviolet. Then visible light, infrared, microwave, and radio waves are the lowest frequency. Here is a link which gives more information http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/science/toolbox/emspectrum1.html


What waves can't penetrate the atmosphere?

X-rays and gamma rays, which have high energy levels, can be absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere and are unable to penetrate it. This absorption occurs mainly in the ionosphere, a layer of the atmosphere that reflects or absorbs these high-energy waves.


Disadvantages of electromagnetic waves?

Electromagnetic waves can cause health hazards like cancer and genetic mutations with long-term exposure. They can also interfere with electronic devices and sensitive equipment. Additionally, some electromagnetic waves, such as ultraviolet and X-rays, can cause harm to living tissues.


Is electromagnet and electromagnetic waves are the same?

No, an electromagnet is a device that produces a magnetic field when an electric current flows through it. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, are a form of energy that includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays, produced by the oscillation of electric and magnetic fields.


The strongest energy waves that the Sun emits are?

The strongest energy waves that the Sun emits are in the form of gamma rays and X-rays, produced by processes such as nuclear fusion and solar flares. These high-energy waves can interact with Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field, impacting technology and communication systems.

What waves have the shortest wavelength in the highest frequency?

Gamma waves


Is a gamma ray an example of a mechanical wave?

No. A gamma ray is a very high frequency electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic waves propagate as a combination of changing electric field and changing magnetic field. Electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space without any medium. Mechanical waves (such as sound and water waves) propagate by the oscillating particles of the medium - they require a medium to move through.


What are the dangers of gamma waves?
