Gama rays and radio waves together with the light for example are all electromagnetic waves. The properties of the waves depends on the frequency. If they have higher frequency, the have also higher energy which could be absorbed by body. This list shows electromagnetic spectrum. The waves are ordered from the lowest frequency to highest, which is the most dangerous.

- radio

- microwave

- infrared

- visible

- ultraviolet

- x-ray

- gama rays

However, the distance from the source of the radiation is important. That's why are scientists arguing about the harmfulness of mobile phones. On the other hand, well protected and shielded nuclear power plant is absolutely harmless.

What radio wave with the greatest energy?

Gamma rays have the greatest energy among all the types of electromagnetic radiation, including radio waves. They have the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies, making them the most energetic.


What are are the name of all the rays in science?

Well... in radiation waves there are (from most dangerous to least) Gamma Rays, X-Rays, Ultra-Violet, Visible light, Infra-Red, Micro-Waves, Radio-waves - collectively known as "electromagnetic radiation". Hope This helps


Do gamma rays carry the least amount of energy of the EM waves?

No, the most. Remember, as you go from radio waves to gamma rays across the spectrum, the frequency and energy increases.
