Compare the wavelength and frequency of a radio wave to the wavelength and frequency of a gamma ray.

• Radio waves have the longest wavelength and Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength. But Radio waves have the lowest frequency and Gamma rays have the highest frequency.

• Radio waves the shortest wavelength and Gamma rays have the longest wavelength. But Radio waves have the highest frequency and Gamma rays have the lowest frequency.
