What is the shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum carries the greatest amount of energy?

The shortest wavelengths have the most energy because it has the highest frequency. A high energy light will have a shorter wavelength than a low energy light. If the wavelength goes down, then the frequency goes up. When calculating energy in the equation, E=hv, frequency (v) is the variable, not the wavelength. So in the equation, if you wanted a more energy (E), you would have the frequency be large. For the frequency to be big, then the wavelength has to be low.

Which color on the electromagnetic spectrum has the shortest wavelength?
yellow
What portion of the electromagnetic spectrum has the shortest wavelength?
Gamma radiation
What is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that has the shortest wavelength?
Gamma Waves
In the electromagnetic spectrum which has the shortest wavelength?
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.
The what Waves in the electromagnetic spectrum are gamma waves?
"Gamma" is the name given to the electromagnetic radiation with the highest frequency (shortest wavelength, highest energy).

What is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that has the shortest wavelength?
Gamma Waves
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum has the greatest frequency?
If by greatest frequency you mean highest frequency, we know that the upper end of the electromagnetic spectrum has the greatest frequency. This is the home to the gamma rays. They have the highest frequency, shortest wavelength, and the greatest energy.
What waves of the electromagnetic spectrum have the greatest energy?
the shortest ones

The what Waves in the electromagnetic spectrum are gamma waves?
"Gamma" is the name given to the electromagnetic radiation with the highest frequency (shortest wavelength, highest energy).
Is ultraviolet the shortest wavelength?
No. If the shortest wavelength is on the left end of the spectrum, the shortest wavelength is microwaves. if the shortest wavelength is on the right end of the spectrum, the shortest wavelength is gamma rays. I think it is microwaves because micro means small.
What is the shortest wave of the spectrum?
The electromagnetic waves which have the shortest wavelength (and thus, the highest frequency, and the highest energy per photon) are called gamma rays.
How is the electromagnetic spectrum divided?
The Electromagnetic Spectrum consists of: (From least intense to most)Radio WavesMicrowavesInfraredVisible LightUltraviolet LightX-RaysGamma Rays
Which end of the visible electromagnetic spectrum has longer wavelength Red or Blude?
Deep dark red is the visible light with the longest wavelength. Violet is the visible light with the shortest wavelength.
what kind of wave is a gamma wave?
A gamma ray is an electromagnetic wave. It has the highest frequency (and energy) as well as the shortest wavelength on any wave on the electromagnetic spectrum.
