Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths, < 0.01 nanometers (about the size of an atomic nucleus). This is the highest frequency and most energetic region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Gamma rays can result from nuclear reactions and from processes taking place in objects such as pulsars, quasars, and black holes.

The highest measured frequencies of EM waves are Gamma-rays and are typically produced from the decay of atomic nuclei. The most powerful sources of gamma-rays (and usually the sources with the shortest wavelength) are caused by astronomical events.

Gamma-rays. Gamma-rays have the smallest wavelengths and the most energy of any other wave in the electromagnetic spectrum. ... Gamma-rays travel to us across vast distances of the universe, only to be absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere. Different wavelengths of light penetrate the Earth's atmosphere to different depths.

Radio waves are electromagnetic waves with the longest wavelengths, lowest frequencies, and least amount of energy. They are used for radio and television broadcasts and many other purposes. In radio broadcasts, sounds are encoded in radio waves by changing either the amplitude (AM) or frequency (FM) of the waves.

Visible-- waves are the only electromagnetic waves we can see. We see these waves as the colors of the rainbow. Each color has a different wavelength. Red has the longest wavelength and violet has the shortest wavelength.

Electromagnetic Waves have different wavelengths. Radio waves, television waves, and microwaves are all types of electromagnetic waves. ... The electromagnetic spectrum includes, from longest wavelength to shortest: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, optical, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma-rays.
909824
Radio waves have the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths ranging from approximately 1mm to several hundred meters. Radio waves are used to transmit a variety of data.
106164
Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum longer than infrared light. Radio waves have frequencies as high as 300 gigahertz (GHz) to as low as 30 hertz (Hz). At 300 GHz, the corresponding wavelength is 1 mm, and at 30 Hz is 10,000 km.

Waves with a short wavelength have the most energy. Red waves have a relatively long wavelength (in the 700 nm range), and violet waves are much shorter - roughly half that. Because violet waves have the shortest wavelength of the visible light spectrum, they carry the most energy.
233146
Radio waves have the longest wavelength. None of those present has the highest speed. All photons travel at the same speed, at the speed of light, regardless of energy.
590710
This means that it is correct to talk about the energy of an X-ray or the wavelength of a microwave or the frequency of a radio wave. The electromagnetic spectrum includes, from longest wavelength to shortest: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, optical, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma-rays.
