What part of the electromagnetic spectrum has the greatest frequency?
If by greatest frequency you mean highest frequency, we know that the upper end of the electromagnetic spectrum has the greatest frequency. This is the home to the gamma rays. They have the highest frequency, shortest wavelength, and the greatest energy.
Which wave in the EM spectrum has the shortest wavelength?
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength. Electromagnetic wave is a kind of energy being propagated even through free space (vacuum). It is classified based on the mode of producing it as Radio waves, micro waves, infra red, visible, ultra violet, X-ray and Gamma ray. Out of these seven, radio waves have the lowest frequency and Gamma ray has the highest frequency. As frequency and wavelength are inversely related, radio wave would have the longest wavelength.
As you go from left to right across the spectrum what happens to the frequency and energy of the waves?
As you go farther right down the spectrum (radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet light, x-rays, and gamma rays), the waves' wavelengths decrease as their frequencies decrease. For example, x-rays have a shorter wavelength and higher frequency than ultraviolet light. Radio waves on the left end have the longest wavelength and shortest frequency, while gamma rays on the right end have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency.
What are x-rays high or low frequency?
They're not comparable. -- Cosmic rays are high-energy charged particles moving at less than the speed of light, with mass and kinetic energy but no characteristic frequency or wavelength. -- Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation.
What has the highest energy and longest wavelength?
Generically speaking, radio waves have the longest wavelength and gamma rays have the highest energy.
Which rays have the highest frequency?
Gamma Rays.
Which waves have the highest frequency?
Gamma rays emit the highest frequency.
What has the highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum?
There is no such thing as the highest frequency. Since photons or electromagnetic travel at the speed of light its frequency correlates to the energy. The highest energy, and thus the highest frequency, is found in cosmic radiation, where a single photon may carry many millions of kiloelectronvolts.
Which waves has the highest frequency?
the answer is gamma rays
What is the highest frequency in electromagnetic spectrum?
The highest frequencies of waves are gamma rays.
What are the electromagnetic waves with the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequency called?
Gamma Rays
Which has a higher frequency gamma rays or xrays?
gamma has the highest frequency because on a wave chart the gamma rays have the most energy and frequency
What are the highest- frequency and lowest -frequency parts of the EM spectrum?
The highest frequency is gamma rays And the lowest is radio waves
Which have the highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum?
Gamma rays
EM waves with the highest frequency are?
Gamma rays.
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 is the highest energy on the em spectrum?
I don't think there is a limit, as to how high the frequency can get. The EM waves of the highest energy (and frequency) are called "gamma rays".
