The shortest on this list is gamma rays.
The list is stated almost but not quite in the correct order, from longest to shortest wavelength. It should read:
Radio
Infra-red
Ultraviolet
X-rays
Gamma rays

The visible color of electromagnetic radiation that has the shortest wavelength is?
violet
Which of the alpha beta and gamma radiation is formed of electromagnetic radiation?
We know that gamma rays are electromagnetic energy, and they'll occupy a place on the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. You can locate gamma rays right at the top end of the EM spectrum because their frequencies are so high (or their wavelengths are so short, if you prefer).
Which has the longest wavelength 1ultraviolet radiation 2gamma radiation 3 visible radiation 4 infrared radiation?
The sequence of the listing in the question is correct. From longest to shortest wavelength, these four categories of EM radiation do in fact list in the order: 1). infrared 2). visible 3). ultraviolet 4). X-rays
How is the electromagnetic spectrum divided?
The Electromagnetic Spectrum consists of: (From least intense to most)Radio WavesMicrowavesInfraredVisible LightUltraviolet LightX-RaysGamma Rays
Is the UV radiation the sortest wavelength?
No, gamma rays have the shortest wavelength.
What is electromagnetic radiation with the shortest wavelength?
The gamma ray has the shortest wavelength (and shortest period) as well as the highest frequency (and highest energy) of all forms of electromagnetic radiation.That's the part of the spectrum that we call "gamma rays".There is no definite answer to this as we can have shorter and shorter wavelengths from a value which we have assigned to be the shortest wavelength.However, gamma rays have the shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.Gamma radiation ;)The region of the spectrum that we call "gamma rays" has.
What portion of the electromagnetic spectrum has the shortest wavelength?
Gamma radiation
The visible color of electromagnetic radiation that has the shortest wavelength is?
violet
Which of the alpha beta and gamma radiation is formed of electromagnetic radiation?
We know that gamma rays are electromagnetic energy, and they'll occupy a place on the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. You can locate gamma rays right at the top end of the EM spectrum because their frequencies are so high (or their wavelengths are so short, if you prefer).
What type of radiation has the shortest wavelength of radio waves or cosmic rays or ultraviolet light or infrared light?
X-rays have the shortest wavelength of those listed.
What is gamma radiation composed of?
It is electromagnetic radiation just like radio, microwaves, visible light etc.. except it has the highest frequency and energy and shortest wavelength of all electromagnetic radiation.
The what Waves in the electromagnetic spectrum are gamma waves?
"Gamma" is the name given to the electromagnetic radiation with the highest frequency (shortest wavelength, highest energy).
Which has the longest wavelength 1ultraviolet radiation 2gamma radiation 3 visible radiation 4 infrared radiation?
The sequence of the listing in the question is correct. From longest to shortest wavelength, these four categories of EM radiation do in fact list in the order: 1). infrared 2). visible 3). ultraviolet 4). X-rays
What electromagnetic radiation has the shortest wave length?
Gamma rays. They have a wavelength of 10 picometers, or ten trillionths of a meter.
What type of electromagnetic wave has the shortest wavelenght?
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength compared to most of other electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays have high penetrating power and are high in frequency. Exposure to this type of radiation can cause many health complications.
Is ultraviolet the shortest wavelength?
No. If the shortest wavelength is on the left end of the spectrum, the shortest wavelength is microwaves. if the shortest wavelength is on the right end of the spectrum, the shortest wavelength is gamma rays. I think it is microwaves because micro means small.
Compare and contrast ultraviolet light waves and visable light?
Wavelength of violet is the shortest and that for red is the longest in the visible region. So for ultra violet the wavelength is to be less still and that for infra red it has to be larger than red So wavelength increases as we move through UV, visible and IR.
