Question
which waves of the electromagnetic spectrum carry the most energy? gamma visible light xray radio
Brief Explanations
In the electromagnetic spectrum, the energy of a wave is related to its frequency (and inversely to its wavelength) by the formula $E = hf$ (where $E$ is energy, $h$ is Planck's constant, and $f$ is frequency). Gamma rays have the highest frequency among the given options (gamma > X - ray > visible light > radio). So, gamma rays carry the most energy.
