The

The electromagnetic radiation with the highest frequency.
Answer to Problem 1EPL
The Gamma rays have the highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum.
Explanation of Solution
The electromagnetic spectrum is the band consisting of all the electromagnetic radiation arranged in the increasing order of their wavelength or in the decreasing order of their frequencies. All the electromagnetic radiations are considered to be the transverse waves.
The electromagnetic radiations can travel through space even in the absence of the medium. The frequency of an electromagnetic radiation is the number of cycles occurring in the wave in time period of
The frequency of the Gamma rays is of order
Conclusion:
Thus, the Gamma rays have the highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum.
