Generically speaking, radio waves have the longest wavelength and gamma rays have the highest energy.
Different types of radiation
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.
Electromagnetic radiation having a wavelengths between 380 - 750nm is visible to the normal human eye. This region of the spectrum is called visible light. Radiation of any other wavelength cannot be seen with the naked eye
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.
energy increases, and the wave length decreasespicture the difference between alpha and gamma rays :)
These are known as alpha, beta, and gamma rays. Alpha rays are helium-4 nuclei, beta rays can be electrons or positrons, gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic waves.These are known as alpha, beta, and gamma rays.

Cosmic rays have shorter wavelength than gamma rays
There are three types of ultraviolet (UV) rays: UVA, UVB, and UVC. UVA rays have the longest wavelength, UVB rays have a medium wavelength, and UVC rays have the shortest wavelength. UVC rays are mostly absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere and do not reach the surface.
Alpha rays are not one of the waves of the electromagnetic spectrum. Alpha rays are actually streams of alpha particles, which are clusters of two protons and two neutrons emitted by certain types of radioactive materials.
Alpha rays are helium ions, He2+.
Energy is inversely proportional to wavelength: the shorter the wavelength (X-rays, gamma rays) the greater the energy.
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.
The gamma rays are. The alpha and beta "rays" are not.
This statement is incorrect. Infrared rays have a longer wavelength than ultraviolet rays. Infrared rays have wavelengths longer than visible light, while ultraviolet rays have wavelengths shorter than visible light.
You think probable to beta rays, gamma rays, alpha rays.
No. If the shortest wavelength is on the left end of the spectrum, the shortest wavelength is microwaves. if the shortest wavelength is on the right end of the spectrum, the shortest wavelength is gamma rays. I think it is microwaves because micro means small.
