The frequency of which of the following is the highest?

Micro waves
Radio waves
Gamma rays
Light waves

The correct answer is C. Gamma rays.

Gamma rays have the highest frequency of all the electromagnetic waves. They are a type of high-energy radiation that is produced by radioactive decay. Gamma rays have a wavelength of less than 0.01 nanometers and a frequency of more than 300 petahertz.

Radio waves have a wavelength of 1 millimeter to 100 kilometers and a frequency of 30 hertz to 300 gigahertz. Microwaves have a wavelength of 1 millimeter to 1 meter and a frequency of 300 gigahertz to 300 terahertz. Light waves have a wavelength of 400 nanometers to 700 nanometers and a frequency of 400 terahertz to 700 terahertz.

The frequency of a wave is the number of waves that pass a given point in a given amount of time. The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength.
