ANSWER:

Gamma rays have a shorter wavelength in comparison to the radio wave. Both of these waves are included under the electromagnetic spectrum.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Out of all the electromagnetic radiation waves, gamma-ray has the shortest wavelength.
  • It is because gamma-ray has a much higher frequency compared to radio waves which have low frequencies.
  • Unlike other radiations, gamma-ray produces more waves in a second resulting in the shortest wavelength.
  • Also, it gives off more energy compared to other radiation as it has a very high frequency.
