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

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Most of the EM spectrum is 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.

The electromagnetic (EM) spectrum is a name for different types of radiation. Most radiation comes from the sun. Want more info?

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.
Wavelength and frequency :)
-- 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.
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.
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.
