Answer:

Here you go!

Step-by-step explanation:

Gamma rays have the highest energy radiation and have the smallest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum. They are formed by the hottest and most energetic objects in the world, with nuclear explosions, lightning and far less radioactive decay activity producing gamma rays. It can be both useful and dangerous, gamma rays are used in medicine to treat cancer with radiation when exposed to them, radiology, sterilization and much more.
