I'll answer your question for a variety of waves.

For sound waves, higher pitch sounds have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths.

For water waves, the slowest moving waves have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths.

For seismic waves, S waves have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths than P waves.

For electromagnetic waves, X-rays and gamma rays have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths than, say, visible light.

For quantum mechanical, de Broglie waves, particles with classical analogues of momentum have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths than individual particles.

What waves have the shortest wavelenght?

Gamma rays are the waves with the shortest wavelength. The waves having highest frequency have the shortest wavelength. As gamma rays have the highest frequency starting from 10^19 and onwards so they have the shortest wavelength starting from 10^-11 and decreasing.


A wave with what frequencies would have shortest wavelength 10MHz 100MHz 1GHz 100GHz?

For the same speed of a wave (I suppose you are referring to electromagnetic waves), the highest frequency corresponds to the shortest wavelength.For the same speed of a wave (I suppose you are referring to electromagnetic waves), the highest frequency corresponds to the shortest wavelength.For the same speed of a wave (I suppose you are referring to electromagnetic waves), the highest frequency corresponds to the shortest wavelength.For the same speed of a wave (I suppose you are referring to electromagnetic waves), the highest frequency corresponds to the shortest wavelength.


Do waves with the shortest wavelengths have the highest frequencies?

That depends on the speed of the waves. If you are considering waves at the same speed, then yes, shorter wavelength equals higher frequency. The formula is: frequency = speed / wavelength or wavelength = speed / frequency From this you can clearly see, that if speed remains constant, then when wavelength decreases the frequency will increase and vice versa.


What radiation energy has shortest waves?

Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency among the types of electromagnetic radiation.


What is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that has the shortest wavelength?

Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum. They have the highest frequency and carry the most energy of all the electromagnetic waves.


Order the types of waves from lowest frequency and wavelength to the highest?

There are many types of waves, but the main ones are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet waves, x-rays, and gamma rays. Radio waves have the longest wavelength and lowest frequency. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency.


Which electromagnetic waves have the longest wavelength and highest frequencies?

The longest wavelengths are usually referred to as radio waves, whereas the highest frequencies are referred to as cosmic rays (the opposite end of the spectrum).


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 happens to the electromagnetic spectrum as you move from gamma to radio waves?

As you move from gamma rays to radio waves on the electromagnetic spectrum, the wavelength gets longer and the frequency decreases. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency, while radio waves have the longest wavelength and lowest frequency.


What waves have the shortest wavelenght and the highest frequency?

Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and the highest frequency among all electromagnetic waves. They are produced by the hottest and most energetic objects in the universe, such as pulsars and black holes.


Is the longest wavelength violet?

No. In the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, the waves at the red end have the longest wavelength (lowest frequency), and those at the violet end have the shortest wavelength (highest frequency).
