Step-by-step explanation:

Gamma rays are the electromagnetic waves that have the highest frequency and the lowest wavelength compared to all other electromagnetic waves.

f = 300 EHz


\lambda=1\ pm

In terms of frequency the order of frequency is

Gamma rays > X rays > Ultraviolet > Visible > Infrared > high frequency > low frequency > Extremely low frequency

In terms of wavelength the order is the opposite of the frequency

Gamma rays < X rays < Ultraviolet < Visible < Infrared < high frequency < low frequency < Extremely low frequency
