Question

question 5 (2 points)
which type of em wave has the shortest wavelength?
o a x - rays
b gamma rays
o c radio waves
d red visible light

Explanation:

In the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum, wavelength and frequency are inversely related ($c = \lambda f$, where $c$ is the speed of light). Gamma rays have the highest frequency among the given options. Since $\lambda=\frac{c}{f}$, a higher frequency means a shorter wavelength. X - rays have a lower frequency (longer wavelength) than gamma rays. Radio waves have very low frequencies (long wavelengths), and red visible light has a frequency lower than that of gamma rays.

Answer:

B. gamma rays
