Answer:

Gamma rays

Step-by-step explanation:

In the electromagnetic spectrum, the energy of gamma rays is maximum and even their penetrating power is very high.

The increasing order of energy of electromagnetic spectrum is given by

Radio waves < Micro waves < Infrared rays < Visible rays < Ultra violet rays < X rays < Gamma rays
