Question

Which waves in the electromagnetic spectrum are considered high energy waves ?​

Answer 1

Gamma ray and x Ray I’m pretty sure. Because they have the shortest wavelengths but the highest energy wave. Hope this helped :)

Answer 2

Answer:

The waves with the most higher energy are Gamma rays and X-rays

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the distribution of radiation due to the different wavelengths at which it radiates and its different intensities.

The energy of each wavelength can be determined by means of the following equation:

$E = h\nu$  (1)

but $\nu = \frac{c}{\lambda}$, therefore:

$E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}$  (2)

Where h is the Planck constant, c is the speed of light and $\lambda$ is the wavelength.

Radiation is distributed along that electromagnetic spectrum according with the wavelength or frequency. Therefore, the ones with lower wavelength will have higher energy according to equation 2, since they are inversely proportional.

For example, Gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet rays, the visible region are the ones with the lower wavelengths and infrared, microwave and radio waves with higher wavelength.

Then, the waves with the most higher energy are Gamma rays and X-rays.
