which electromagnetic wave has highest energy?
12272
Radio waves have photons with low energies, microwave photons have a little more energy than radio waves, infrared photons have still more, then visible, ultraviolet, X-rays, and, the most energetic of all, gamma-rays.

Each section of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum has characteristic energy levels, wavelengths, and frequencies associated with its photons. Gamma rays have the highest energies, the shortest wavelengths, and the highest frequencies.

The Gamma rays ( γ- Rays) are also part of the vast EM radiation, so they also travels with the speed of Light c (3 x 10^8 m/s). Gamma-rays are the most energetic form of light, due to their high energy they can be used in cancer diagnosis.

Radio waves have the longest wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum, and the lowest energy (or frequency). Radio waves pick up where microwaves leave off.

Gamma rays, a form of nuclear and cosmic EM radiation, can have the highest frequencies and, hence, the highest photon energies in the EM spectrum.
290587
Waves with a short wavelength have the most energy. Red waves have a relatively long wavelength (in the 700 nm range), and violet waves are much shorter - roughly half that. Because violet waves have the shortest wavelength of the visible light spectrum, they carry the most energy.

9.17. Radio waves have the longest wavelengths and shortest frequencies, whereas γ-rays have the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies. Fig. 9.21. (a) Electromagnetic radiation considered as a waveform; (b) types of electromagnetic radiation.

The full range of electromagnetic radiation is called the electromagnetic spectrum. From longest to shortest wavelengths, it includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet light, X rays, and gamma rays.

Gamma-rays have the smallest wavelengths and the most energy of any other wave in the electromagnetic spectrum. These waves are generated by radioactive atoms and in nuclear explosions. Gamma-rays can kill living cells, a fact which medicine uses to its advantage, using gamma-rays to kill cancerous cells.

Gamma rays have the highest energy and shortest wavelength. Then come X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared radiation and microwave radiation. Finally, radio waves have the lowest energy and longest wavelength. You can only sense two parts of the EMS.

Gamma rays are the highest energy, highest frequency, and shortest wavelength waves in the electromagnetic spectrum. Gamma rays can be used to kill living organisms, sterilize medical equipment, and treat cancer.

SOURCES OF GAMMA RAYS Gamma rays have the smallest wavelengths and the most energy of any wave in the electromagnetic spectrum. They are produced by the hottest and most energetic objects in the universe, such as neutron stars and pulsars, supernova explosions, and regions around black holes.

The energy associated with EM radiation is proportional to frequency and inversely proportional to wavelength. Thus, EM waves with shorter wavelengths have more energy. Examples of EM radiation (from lowest to highest energy) include radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, UV, and radiographs (Fig.

Radio waves have the longest wavelength of all electromagnetic waves.

Gamma rays are nuclear in origin and are defined to include the highest-frequency electromagnetic radiation of any type.
