What has the highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum?
There is no such thing as the highest frequency. Since photons or electromagnetic travel at the speed of light its frequency correlates to the energy. The highest energy, and thus the highest frequency, is found in cosmic radiation, where a single photon may carry many millions of kiloelectronvolts.
What do Light waves carry from place to place?
Light waves are fluctuations in the electromagnetic field. They carry energy.In another model light is composed of photons, energy packets, where the energy is proportional to the color (in the wave model this is the wavelength).
Electromagnetic waves of the longest wavelength carry the greatest energy?
No. The energy of an EM wave is E = h*c / (wavelength), therefore waves with the shortest wavelength (or highest frequency) carry the greatest energy.
Do photons have weight?
No, photons do not have weight. Photons are particles, made pure out of energy, which travel at the speed of sound.
Which electromagnetic waves carry energy arranged by wavelength?
the answer is Spectrum

The smallest unit of matter is called?
Light is made of "photons", ie. is a little packets of energy that can carry electromagnetic radiation.
What do Light waves carry from place to place?

What do waves carry as they move?
mechanical waves carry mechanical energy and electromagnetic waves carry electromagnetic energy.
What kind of wave carries energy?
mechanical waves carry mechanical energy and electromagnetic waves carry electromagnetic energy.
Wave that do not require matter to carry energy?
Most waves all require something with mass to be transmitted. However, electromagnetic waves carry energy in the form of photons, which are massless. Since photons are massless, they are not considered matter, but they do indeed carry energy. (This is why something feels warmer when the sun shines on it.) Electromagnetic waves range anywhere from radio waves, microwaves, and the common visible light waves, to x rays, and gamma rays.
Electromagnetic waves of the longest wavelength carry the greatest energy?
No. The energy of an EM wave is E = h*c / (wavelength), therefore waves with the shortest wavelength (or highest frequency) carry the greatest energy.
Are gamma rays negative?
No. The gauge particles for electromagnetic radiation, photons, do not carry an electronic charge.
Are Gamma Ray's negatively charged?
No. The gauge particles for electromagnetic radiation, photons, do not carry an electronic charge.
Electromagnetic waves dont carry any matter what do they carry?
Electromagnetic waves carry energy and information. Energy is transferred through the oscillation of electric and magnetic fields, while information can be encoded in the frequency, amplitude, and phase of the wave.
What do waves do not require to carry energy?
Radiation, or electromagnetic waves do not require matter to carry energy.
what is Difference between heat and light?
Light is electromagnetic waves that carry energy in the form of photons from one place to another whereas heat is the energy that moves from one place to another due to a temperature difference between the two points.
