Question

which of the following is true about gamma rays? (in this problems, \em\ stands for \electromagnetic\)
gamma rays have a medium wavelength, medium frequency, and medium energy compared to other em types.
gamma rays have the shortest wavelength, highest frequency, and most energy of all em types.
gamma rays have the longest wavelength, lowest frequency, and least energy of all em types.

Explanation:

Gamma rays are a type of electromagnetic (EM) radiation. In the electromagnetic spectrum, there is an inverse relationship between wavelength and frequency (and energy). As wavelength decreases, frequency and energy increase. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength among all EM types. According to the formula \(E = h
u\) (where \(E\) is energy, \(h\) is Planck's constant, and \(
u\) is frequency), since frequency (\(
u\)) is highest for gamma rays (due to their short wavelength), their energy (\(E\)) is also the highest.

Answer:

Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength, highest frequency, and most energy of all EM types.
