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.

What is the highest energy on the em spectrum?

Gamma rays have the highest energy on the electromagnetic spectrum. They have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency, carrying the most energy of all electromagnetic waves.


Which type of em spectrum has the highest wavelength?

The energy of EM radiation depends on its frequency, and the lowest frequency corresponds to the lowest energy. Radio waves are at the low end of the energy and frequency spectrum.


What type of light waves carry the most energy?

Gamma radiation is an extremely high frequency EM wave and is probably the common lightwave with the highest energy. Since energy is proportional to frequency, the highest energy wave would be that with the highest frequency.


What part of the em spectrum has the highest frequency?

The highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum is found in gamma rays. These rays have the shortest wavelengths and the highest energy levels of all electromagnetic waves.


Which EM waves has the highest frequency?

There is no upper limit to how much energy (and frequency) an electromagnetic wave can have. The highest frequency waves are called gamma radiation.There is no upper limit to how much energy (and frequency) an electromagnetic wave can have.

Which waves are the shortest highest energy waves in the spectrum?

Gamma rays are the shortest and highest energy waves in the electromagnetic spectrum.


What electromagnetic waves has the highest energy?

The highest energy are the gamma rays.


Do all EM waves transfer matter from place to place?

False. EM Waves do not transfer matter, they transfer energy.


What is the highest frequency part of EM spectrum?

The highest frequency part of the electromagnetic spectrum is gamma rays. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths and highest energy of all electromagnetic waves.


What is the energy transferred as em waves?

Electromagnetic waves transfer energy through the oscillation of electric and magnetic fields. The energy carried by electromagnetic waves is proportional to their frequency, with higher frequencies carrying more energy. This energy transfer allows electromagnetic waves to propagate through space and interact with matter.
