Which has a shorter wave length: a radio wave or gamma ray?

Answer 1

The order of wave lengths from longest to shortest is:
Radio
Micro
Infrared
Visable
Ultraviolet
Xray
Gamma

Answer 2

Gamma ray. It has a higher frequency, making the wavelength shorter. According to the equation u= yv : u is the speed of light, y is the wavelength, and v is the frequency. Since the speed of electromagnetic waves in a vaccum is constant at 3.0 x 10 ^8 m/s gamma rays have a higher frenquency, so solving for wavelength will give you a shorter wavelength while radio waves will give you a longer wavelength.

Answer 3

gamma, the shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency. So since the gamma is the most powerful in the electromagnetic spectrum, then its the only choice.

Answer 4

Gamma ray has the shortiest wavelength of electromagnetic spectrum (usually under 0.01 nanometer) , the highest energy and frequency.

Radiowave has the longest wavelength of electromagneic spectrum, the lowest energy and frequency

Answer 5

There are no real limits, or at least not until the frequency is up around 1.9 x 10^43 Hz (When the wavelength is down to the Planck limit). That limit is only a theory. There is no lower limit.

Answer 6

gamma ray
