Gamma-rays have the smallest wavelengths and the most energy of any other wave in the electromagnetic spectrum. These waves are generated by radioactive atoms and in nuclear explosions. Gamma-rays can kill living cells, a fact which medicine uses to its advantage, using gamma-rays to kill cancerous cells.
What else can I help you with?
What is the longest to shortest wave length?
The longest wavelength is radio waves, followed by microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays, which have the shortest wavelength.
What type of EM radiation has the shortest wave length and the most energy?
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and the highest energy of all types of electromagnetic radiation. They are produced by radioactive decay and nuclear explosions.
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 type of wave has the shortest wavelength GHz or MHz?
A wave with a frequency in the GHz range has a shorter wavelength compared to a wave in the MHz range. This is because wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional: as frequency increases, wavelength decreases.
What form of radiation is the shortest wave length?
The form that we call "gamma rays".
Which form of radition form the sun has the shortest?
When it comes to radiation from the sun, the type that has the shortest wave length is known gamma rays. A type of wave that is longer than gamma rays is radio rays, which go for a considerable distance.
Which type of EM radiation has the shortest wavelength and the most engery?
The shortest wave is a Gamma wave
Does gamma rays have the shortest wave lengths?
Yes.
What is the longest to shortest wave length?
The longest wavelength is radio waves, followed by microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays, which have the shortest wavelength.
What type of EM radiation has the shortest wave length and the most energy?
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and the highest energy of all types of electromagnetic radiation. They are produced by radioactive decay and nuclear explosions.
Which is the most penetrating rays x-rays or gamma rays?
Gamma rays are the most penetration rays because of its shortest wave length...
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 type of wave has the shortest wavelength GHz or MHz?
A wave with a frequency in the GHz range has a shorter wavelength compared to a wave in the MHz range. This is because wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional: as frequency increases, wavelength decreases.
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 are the shortest wavelengths?
Gamma rays have wavelengths shorter than 10 picometres (10^-11 metres), corresponding to frequencies exceeding 10 exahertz (10^19 Hz).It is theorised that the Planck length may be the smallest meaningful unit of distance. A wave with that wavelength would have a frequency of approx 6.2*10^34Hz.
