The gamma ray has the shortest wavelength (and shortest period) as well as the highest frequency (and highest energy) of all forms of electromagnetic radiation.
That's the part of the spectrum that we call "gamma rays".
There is no definite answer to this as we can have shorter and shorter wavelengths from a value which we have assigned to be the shortest wavelength.
However, gamma rays have the shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.
Gamma radiation ;)
The region of the spectrum that we call "gamma rays" has.
The wavelength of electromagnetic radiation is directly related to the energy of that wave. The shorter the wavelength, the more energetic the radiation. The typical high-energy radiation is gamma rays.
Gamma radiation, followed by X-rays, ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infra-red rays, microwaves, and finally, radio waves.
Cosmic rays. Their wavelength can be much smaller than an atom. Not to be confused with particles that enter our atmosphere and shower down high energy byproducts.
Ultraviolet
Gamma radiation
It is electromagnetic radiation just like radio, microwaves, visible light etc.. except it has the highest frequency and energy and shortest wavelength of all electromagnetic radiation.
"Gamma" is the name given to the electromagnetic radiation with the highest frequency (shortest wavelength, highest energy).
Gamma rays. They have a wavelength of 10 picometers, or ten trillionths of a meter.
When electromagnetic radiation is arranged to wavelength and frequency it forms the electromagnetic spectrum.

Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength compared to most of other electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have high penetrating power and are high in frequency. Exposure to this type of radiation can cause many health complications.
I assume you are talking about electromagnetic radiation.If the wavelength is shorter, the frequency is larger. And the energy per photon is directly proportional to the frequency.
Shortest wavelength corresponds to highest energy, and this region of the EM spectrum contains high energy radiation such as X-rays and gamma rays.The part with the highest frequencies ... the end where the gamma rays are.
that depends on the wavelength of the radiation. the shorter the wavelength the more damage it can do.

No, gamma rays have the shortest wavelength.
