Gamma rays typically have enough energy to ionize atoms in the photocell material, releasing electrons. This can result in a current being generated in the photocell, which can be used to detect the presence of gamma rays.

Can X rays have higher energies than gamma rays?

Gamma rays have energies higher than that of X-rays. It is true that there is some overlap of the upper end of the X-ray spectrum and the lower end of the gamma ray spectrum, but the X-ray spectrum falls below that of the gamma ray spectrum. For these reasons, if someone asks if X-rays can have higher energies than gamma rays, the answer would be in the negative.

For the EM spectrum what happens to frequency from radio to gamma rays?

The frequency of electromagnetic waves increases as you move from radio waves to microwaves, then infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and finally gamma rays. In other words, gamma rays have the highest frequency among all the waves in the electromagnetic spectrum.
