Explanation

The electromagnetic spectrum consists of various types of waves, ordered by their increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength. The waves with the highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum are gamma rays. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and the highest energy among all electromagnetic waves. They are often produced by nuclear reactions and radioactive decay and have frequencies above X-rays in the electromagnetic spectrum.
