2. In other words, frequency is the number of wave crests that pass through a certain spot in a second.
3. The highest frequency is in the electromagnetic spectrum, gamma rays have the minimum wavelength and highest frequency. They have a frequency of approximately ${10}^{20}$ to ${10}^{22}Hz$.
4. Following radioactive decay, the nucleus of some radio nuclides emits a packet of electromagnetic energy called ‘photon’ known as a gamma ray.
5. The highest energetic photons in the electromagnetic spectrum are gamma photons.
