    Gamma radiation carries the most energy since it has the highest frequency.

    Explanation:

    Electromagnetic radiations are waves which do not require material medium for their propagation and they are arranged in electromagnetic spectrum according to their increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength or decreasing frequency and increasing wavelength.

    Examples of Electromagnetic radiations, in terms of decreasing frequency and increasing wavelength:

    Gamma rays > x-ray > ultraviolet ray > visible light > infrared > micro waves > radio waves

    Energy of wave is related to frequency using the following formula:

    E = hf

    where:

    h is Planck's constant and

    f is frequency of the wave

    From the illustration above, gamma radiation carries the most energy since it has the highest frequency.

    Gamma rays

    Explanation:

    Gamma rays is at the end of the electromagnetic spectrum, and has the highest energy. It propagates through space at 3x10^8 m/s and has the smallest wavelength and the highest frequency. It is given off by atoms of element as they undergo nuclear disintegration.
