Question
- what are the shortest waves in the electromagnetic spectrum?
○ gamma
○ x-ray
○ ultraviolet
○ microwave
Brief Explanations
In the electromagnetic spectrum, gamma rays have the shortest wavelength. Wavelength is inversely related to energy and frequency. Gamma rays are highly energetic and have the smallest wavelength among the given options. X - rays have longer wavelengths than gamma rays. Ultraviolet rays have even longer wavelengths compared to X - rays. Microwaves have much longer wavelengths than the other three options.
