The smaller the wavelength (high frequency), the higher the energy. So gamma has the highest energy, followed by x-rays, UV, visible, infrared, microwaves, radio, in descending order. This is also why green laser-pointers are more expensive than red ones ;)

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
Does visible light have a higher frequency than gamma rays?
No, visible light has a lower frequency than gamma rays. Gamma rays are the highest frequency of electromagnetic energy. They are above X-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
Does ultraviolet light carry more energy than infrared radiation?
Yes. Radiations on the "red" end of the spectrum, such as radio, microwave, and infrared, have markedly less energy than visible light. Frequencies on the "purple" end, on the other hand, such as ultraviolet, x-ray, and gamma, have considerably more.
Are X-ray and gamma radiations similar to visible light or radio waves except for their higher energies?
X-rays, gamma rays, radio waves, and visible light are forms of electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays are highest in energy compared to other electromagnetic radiations. Radio waves are least in energy in the whole electromagnetic spectrum.
How does a gamma wave differ from a microwave?
The wavelength is far shorter in gamma rays, and they have a higher frequency, and their photons are much higher in energy than those of microwaves.
What are exmaples of electromagnetic energy?
Radio waves, microwaves, infra-red light, visible light, ultra-violet light, x-rays, gamma rays.
What are the types of radiant energy?
That's an easy one: Gamma Rays X rays Ultra Violet Visible Light Infra red Microwaves and Radiowaves
Which electromagnetic waves have higher frequencies than ultraviolet waves?
Ultra violet light starts just above the visible violet.
Which has higher frequencies microwaves or visible lights?
Visible light has shorter wavelengths than microwaves. Microwaves, which might be considered the highest energy radio waves, have a longer wavelength (and a lower frequency) than visible light.
Which radiation energy from the sun can damage an organism?
Microwaves <><><><><> Ultraviolet, infrared, gamma.
Do gamma rays have a higher or lower frequency than microwaves?
Gamma rays have a much higher frequency than microwaves, even though microwaves have a longer wavelength than gamma rays.All forms of electromagnetic radiation travel at the speed of light or 186,000 miles per second. So the increase in wavelength(microwaves) means they do not oscillate as fast(lower frequency) in order to reach 186,000 miles per second.
What takes the most energy to generate microwave or ex ray?
An X ray takes more energy to generate because it is higher frequency (second in shortest wavelength only to gamma rays). Microwaves are just higher frequency radio waves.
What is higher in frequency and has shorter wavelengths than visible light?
We know that ultra-violet light, X-rays and gamma rays have higher energy (higher frequency and shorter wavelengths) than visible light.
Do gamma rays have more energy than microwaves?
No they do not, they have longer wave lengths, therefore less energy
Do ultra violet waves have a higher or lower frequency than gamma rays?
lower
Do microwaves have more energy than X-rays?
Well, x-rays rank higher than everything on the electromagnetic spectrum except for gamma rays. The higher a ray ranks on the electromagnetic spectrum, the more energy it has. Therefore, x-rays have more energy than visible light and anything below it, and less energy than gamma rays.
