Consider the electromagnetic spectrum. Of the following listed regions of the spectrum, which consists of waves with the HIGHEST frequency? (or lowest frequency?)


 

Electromagnetic Spectrum:
Electromagnetic waves exist in a wide range of frequencies. The range of frequencies is referred to as the electromagnetic spectrum. The spectrum of electromagnetic waves is subdivided into regions - each with its own name. Many of the regions of the electromagnetic spectrum have familiar names such as microwave, X-rays, ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, radio, and gamma radiation. The different regions are typically arranged in order of increasing frequency (or in order of increasing wavelength).
