multiple - choice question
____________________ have the shortest wavelength and highest energy level.
gamma rays
ultraviolet rays
x - rays
rewatch
Gamma rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation. In the electromagnetic spectrum, as the wavelength decreases, the energy level increases. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength among the given options (ultraviolet rays, X - rays, gamma rays). According to the formula \(E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}\) (where \(E\) is energy, \(h\) is Planck's constant, \(c\) is the speed of light, and \(\lambda\) is wavelength), a shorter wavelength (\(\lambda\)) results in higher energy (\(E\)).
