Assessment: WAEC SSCE - Physics - 1994 (Objective) Subject: Physics

Question 1 Report

Which of the following has the shortest wavelength?
Answer Details
Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength among the given options. This is because gamma rays have the highest frequency and energy, which corresponds to a shorter wavelength according to the equation E = hf, where E is energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is frequency. Gamma rays have a wavelength of less than 10 picometers, which is even shorter than X-rays. Infrared rays, ultraviolet rays, radio waves, and visible light all have longer wavelengths than gamma rays, in that order.
