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

What has the shortest wavelength in radiation?

Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.


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 is the correct order of the electromagnetic spectrum form shortest wavelength to longest?

The correct order of the electromagnetic spectrum from shortest wavelength to longest is gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves.


The visible color of electromagnetic radiation that has the shortest wavelength is?

The visible color of electromagnetic radiation with the shortest wavelength is violet. The wavelength of violet light ranges from approximately 380 to 450 nanometers.


Is ultraviolet radiation longest wavelength?

No, ultraviolet radiation has shorter wavelengths compared to visible light and infrared radiation. The electromagnetic spectrum orders radiation from longest to shortest wavelength as radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays.


Which has the longest wavelength 1ultraviolet radiation 2gamma radiation 3 visible radiation 4 infrared radiation?

Gamma radiation has the shortest wavelength and ultraviolet radiation has a longer wavelength than gamma radiation. Infrared radiation would have a longer wavelength than ultraviolet radiation. So, the longest wavelength of the options given would be infrared radiation.


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.


From shortest to longest wavelength what correctly orders the different categories of electromagnetic radiation?

The correct order from shortest to longest wavelength for the different categories of electromagnetic radiation is gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves.


What are 3 forms of electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength higher than visible light?

Ultraviolet radiation: has shorter wavelengths than visible light. X-rays: have even shorter wavelengths than ultraviolet radiation. Gamma rays: have the shortest wavelengths and highest energy among electromagnetic radiation.


What radiation energy has shortest waves?

Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency among the types of electromagnetic radiation.


What is the electromagnetic wave with the highest energy and shortest wavelength called?

The electromagnetic wave with the highest energy and shortest wavelength is called a gamma ray. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum, making them the most energetic type of radiation.


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.
