The categories of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum, in the ascending order of their frequencies are:
- Radio
- Microwave
- Infrared
- Visible
- Ultraviolet
- X-ray
- Gamma
Hence, Radio waves have the lowest frequency and the longest wavelengths while Gamma rays have the highest frequency and the shortest wavelengths.

What else can I help you with?
What are the primary em spectrum colors?
The primary EM spectrum colors are red, green, and blue. These colors can be combined in different ways to create all the other colors we see in the visible spectrum.
Where is wave located on the em spectrum?
Waves are a broad category on the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum that includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. They differ from each other in terms of their wavelength and frequency.
Where along the em spectrum does gamma rays fall?
The EM spectrum, is based upon the emission of photons at different wavelengths. Visible light is a small part of this spectrum. As all of the spectrum travels at the speed of light - C. The frequencies for different wavelenghts of photons will be different. The creation of these different parts of the spectrum are from different oscillations (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum#Rationale) For instance radio waves come from the oscillation of electrons in an antenna. Limitations on these oscillations cause the limitation in the spectrum, at one end there is radiowaves, limited by electron oscillation and the at the other side is gamma from the creation of particle antiparticle pairs.
What part of the Em spectrum is the smallest part?
The smallest part of the electromagnetic spectrum is the gamma rays. They have the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies among all types of electromagnetic radiation.
What is the basis of arrangement of EM waves in the spectrum?
Electromagnetic (EM) waves are arranged in the spectrum based on their wavelength or frequency. From longest to shortest wavelength/frequency, the EM spectrum includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. This arrangement is important because each region of the spectrum has unique properties and interactions with matter.
Do radio waves have the shortest wavelegnth of all EM waves?
No. In fact, when people try to carve up the EM spectrum into categories and typesand classifications and then name each part, they usually wind up giving the name"radio waves" to the part with the longestwavelengths.
Which of these statements about the EM spectrum is false?
Most of the EM spectrum is visible light.
Why is it true to say that all EM radiation is light even though we can see only a small slice of the spectrum as visible light?
Visible light is a very small part of the EM spectrum and it is intellectual laziness to refer to all EM radiation as light.
What are the primary em spectrum colors?
The primary EM spectrum colors are red, green, and blue. These colors can be combined in different ways to create all the other colors we see in the visible spectrum.
Where is wave located on the em spectrum?
Waves are a broad category on the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum that includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. They differ from each other in terms of their wavelength and frequency.
From Where does the energy carried by an EM wave come?
The electromagnetic (EM) spectrum is a name for different types of radiation. Most radiation comes from the sun. Want more info?
Where along the em spectrum does gamma rays fall?
The EM spectrum, is based upon the emission of photons at different wavelengths. Visible light is a small part of this spectrum. As all of the spectrum travels at the speed of light - C.

How is the EM spectrum applied to science?
EM spectrum involves all radiations of different wavelengths. This has been very useful in studying various things in the field of science. Certain range of wavelengths are also very important in critical analytical techniques.
What to properties of EM waves change from one end of the EM spectrum to the other?
Wavelength and frequency :)
What are the highest-frequency and the lowest-frequency parts of the em spectrum?
-- The lowest frequencies that we have a name for are what we call "radio" waves. -- The highest frequencies that we have a name for are what we call "gamma" rays. Although there is not upper or lower limit in the electromagnetic spectrum.
What part of the Em spectrum is the smallest part?
The smallest part of the electromagnetic spectrum is the gamma rays. They have the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies among all types of electromagnetic radiation.
How are x-rays differentrom the light?
X-rays and visible light are part of the Electro-Magnetic Spectrum or EM Spectrum. The EM Spectrum is a depiction of all EM waves from the longest to the shortest. X-rays have a shorter wavelength than visible light. Our eyes only have the ability to translate a small section of the EM Spectrum into information our brain can process. The section our eyes can translate is the visible light section. Each color we see has a different wave length. You can use a prism to view all the colors of light or just look a a rainbow. X-rays also are deadlier than visible light because of its shorter wavelength. They can go through the body easier than visible light. Google EM Spectrum and you'll get a better answer.
