Explanation :

The electromagnetic spectrum describes the different types of waves. The spectrum is arranged in order of increasing wavelength or decreasing frequency.

We know that there is an inverse relation between the frequency and the wavelength i.e.


f\propto(1)/(\lambda)

The frequency of the gamma rays is
10^(19)\ Hz and the frequency of the radio waves is
300\ GHz.

So, the correct option is (b) " gamma rays have lowest frequency and radio waves have highest frequency".
