Here's why:
* Electromagnetic Spectrum: The electromagnetic spectrum organizes different types of light based on their wavelength and frequency.
* Wavelength and Frequency: Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. This means that a longer wavelength corresponds to a lower frequency, and vice versa.
* Gamma Rays: Gamma rays have the highest frequencies and therefore the shortest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum.
Here's a general order of the electromagnetic spectrum from longest wavelength to shortest:
1. Radio waves
2. Microwaves
3. Infrared radiation
4. Visible light
5. Ultraviolet radiation
6. X-rays
7. Gamma rays
