Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum, ranging from about 0.01 to 10 picometers (10^-12 meters). This makes gamma rays very high-energy electromagnetic radiation.
Gamma rays are a type of electromagnetic radiation with the shortest wavelength and highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum, ranging in size from 10 picometers to 100 attometers. They have very high energy and are produced by the decay of atomic nuclei or in nuclear reactions.
High energy waves, such as gamma rays or X-rays, have shorter wavelengths. The shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy of the wave.
Short-wavelength radiation, such as gamma rays and X-rays, carry the greatest amount of energy on Earth. These wavelengths have higher frequency and shorter wavelengths compared to longer-wavelength radiation like visible light or radio waves.
Yes. You can make that statement confidently, without equivocation or qualification, and with no fear of contradiction or debate. And once stated, you can hang your hat on it, and take it to the bank. It is true, and if any evildoer tries to tell you that it isn't, then you are duty-bound to question his motives, at least sureptitiously.
The ones we call "gamma rays" do. Their frequency is so high that in the time of one cycle, light travels only a distance similar to the size of an atom.

it is big
gamma rays
Your comparison attempt is confusing. Water molecules don't have 'waves' by themselves. The ocean has waves, H2O does not. We use the behavior of ocean and sound waves to determine the behavior and makeup of light waves. Humans can only see a portion of the existing electromagnetic spectrum. X-rays and Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths. Radio waves have the longest.

The electromagnetic spectrum is the full range of known electromagnetic radiation, ranging from radio waves to gamma rays. Radio waves are at one end of the spectrum with the longest wavelength and the lowest frequency. Gamma rays at the other end have the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency. (frequency = wave oscillations per second) Most electromagnetic radiation can fall into one of the following categories: Radiowave Microwave Infrared Visible (light) Ultraviolet X-rays Gamma Rays [This list is in increasing order of frequency)
Because it has small size and it will not try to ionise the material
The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses a wide range of wavelengths, from very long radio waves with wavelengths of kilometers to very short gamma rays with wavelengths less than the size of an atomic nucleus. The specific wavelength of electromagnetic radiation depends on the specific type of wave being considered.
