Question

The figure below shows regions of the electromagnetic

spectrum
Gamma
Radio Microwaves Infrared Visible Ultraviolet X-rays Rays
Which of the following waves has the highest frequency?
{GAMMA RAYS}

Answer 1

Gamma rays have the highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Step-by-step explanation:

The highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum is found in gamma rays. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and the highest energy among all the waves in the spectrum. They are the most energetic and dangerous form of electromagnetic radiation.

Answer 2

The electromagnetic spectrum in order of increasing frequency is - radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma rays.

The frequency of the gamma rays is >3×10

19

m.

Hence, the gamma rays has the maximum frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum.
