Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies of all electromagnetic waves. Gamma rays have more energy than any other electromagnetic waves, because of their extremely high frequencies.
Read moreIs a gamma ray frequency high or low?
Gamma rays have frequencies greater than about 10^19 cycles per second , or hertz (Hz), and wavelengths of less than 100 picometers (pm), or 4 x 10^9 inches. (A picometer is one-trillionth of a meter.)
Read moreWhich wave has highest frequency?
Gamma rays have the highest energies, the shortest wavelengths, and the highest frequencies. Radio waves, on the other hand, have the lowest energies, longest wavelengths, and lowest frequencies of any type of EM radiation.
Read moreWhat does it mean to be a high frequency wave?
The frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength. That means that waves with a high frequency have a short wavelength , while waves with a low frequency have a longer wavelength.
Read moreWhat is the difference between low and high frequency waves?
The lower the frequency, the fewer the oscillations. High frequencies produce more oscillations . The units of frequency are called hertz (Hz). Humans with normal hearing can hear sounds between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz.
