Answer:

Gamma Rays

Step-by-step explanation:

Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and the highest energy among the other waves in the electromagnetic spectrum. The wavelength of the gamma rays is less than 0.01 nanometers. Most of the gamma rays from space are blocked by the Earth's atmosphere.

Answer:

Violet or blue light has the shortest wavelength, making them more potent. Red or orange light have longer wavelengths, which makes them less potent.

I hope this helps :)
