There is no shortest electromagnetic wave. The higher the energy the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength. But since the definition of gamma rays "Energy of 100-200 kiloElectronvolt and above" has no upper limit, no matter how short the wave is, it will still be called "gamma ray"
What else can I help you with?
Is the speed of a radio wave in a vacuum greater than the speed of a gamma ray?
No. The speed of all electromagnetic radiation is the same in vacuum, from the longest radio wave to the shortest gamma wave.
The radio waves with the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies are called what?
From longest wave length to shortest (least energy to most, lowest frequency to highest) the spectrum is: Radio & TV - Microwaves - Infrared - Visible Light - Ultraviolet - X-Rays - Gamma Rays
What kind of waves are gamma rays and radio waves?
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves and are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Other electromagnetic waves in the electromagnetic spectrum are microwaves, visible light, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays
Describe the difference between radio waves visible light and gamma rays?
frequency energy wavelength
What is the name of the radio wave that has the shortest wavelength?
According to the electromagnetic spectrum, Gamma Rays fall at the smaller end with wavelengths as short as 10 to the negative 14th power. Shorter wavelength particles may exist however would be at the subatomic level and have not been observed yet. Not that I know of at least.
Which wave would have the shortest wavelength?
Gamma rays would have the shortest wavelength among electromagnetic waves.
What wave has the shortest wavelenghts?
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths among all waves in the electromagnetic spectrum.
What electromagnetic wave has the most energy?
Gamma rays have the most energy among all electromagnetic waves. They have the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum.
What is the electromagnetic wave with the highest energy and shortest wavelength called?
The electromagnetic wave with the highest energy and shortest wavelength is called a gamma ray. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum, making them the most energetic type of radiation.
What are electromagnetic waves with the longest wave lengths and the electromagnetic waves with the shortest wave lengths?
The longest wavelength corresponds to long wave radio, I think the longest used is about 2000 meters. The shortest are gamma rays, which occur in radioactivity, these are from about 10-11 meters down.
What are the shortest wave lengths?
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths among the electromagnetic spectrum, ranging from about 10 picometers to 10 femtometers.
What type of electromagnetic wave has the shortest wavelenght?
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength compared to most of other electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have high penetrating power and are high in frequency. Exposure to this type of radiation can cause many health complications.
Which band of electromagnetic spectrum has the shortest wavelength?
The band of electromagnetic spectrum with the shortest wavelength is the gamma rays. Gamma rays have the highest frequency and carry the most energy of any wave in the electromagnetic spectrum.
What types of waves in the electromagnetic spectrum have the highest energy level?
Gamma rays have the highest energy level in the electromagnetic spectrum. They have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency, making them the most energetic type of electromagnetic wave.
What wave has the greatest freaquency?
Gamma rays have the greatest frequency among the electromagnetic waves. They have the shortest wavelength and highest energy in the electromagnetic spectrum.
What is the shortest type of wave?
Gamma rays are considered the shortest electromagnetic waves. Cosmic radiation can reach even shorter wavelengths, but they are rare to encounter. Because of its highly energetic nature, Gamma radiation is incredibly dangerous. Atomic bombs emit Gamma radiation after the initial blast.
Which type of EM radiation has the shortest wavelength and the most engery?
The shortest wave is a Gamma wave
