Detailed explanation-1: -Gamma rays have the highest energies, the shortest wavelengths, and the highest frequencies.
Detailed explanation-2: -Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths (less than one trillionth of a meter), therefore the highest frequencies, therefore carry the most energy. These are the most damaging to tissues.
Detailed explanation-3: -The shortest waves are gamma rays, which have wavelengths of 10e-6 microns or less. The longest waves are radio waves, which have wavelengths of many kilometers.
Detailed explanation-4: -A gamma ray is electromagnetic radiation of the shortest wavelength and highest energy. Gamma-ray radiation has wavelengths generally smaller than a few tenths of an angstrom (10−10 meter), and gamma-ray photons have energies greater than tens of thousands of electron volts.
