I assume you are talking about photons. The theory we have says that the energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength, the constant of proportionality being Planck's constant multiplied by the speed of light. Therefore, as the energy increases, the wavelength will get shorter, meaning it will have a smaller value. I don't know what you mean by "... get compress and get higher in height when they get high energy ..."; wavelengths don't have height.Iceking20 said:Summary: How would very high energy(more than gamma ray)like infinite energy effect on its wavelength?
We can see wave length that get compress and get higher in height when they get high energy so how would wavelength react and it how it would look like when it gets high amount of energy(like infinite energy)?

Photon energy is not an independent variable that can be increased indefinitely. Photons of any energy are a result of a mechanism that produces them. Photons emitted as a result of electronic or nuclear transitions are limited by electronic or nuclear energy level differences. Photons produced by particle-antiparticle annihilation are limited by the total energy of the particles being annihilated. What kind of mechanism exists that could produce photons of higher and higher energy? Obviously, that energy cannot be infinite, so what are the limiting considerations? (At this point I am content to having asked the question; I defer the answer to those who understand particle physics better than I do.)Jehannum said:I think the problem here is mostly language difficulty, and the OP is just wondering what happens as you get increasingly higher energies, i.e. after UV, X-rays, gamma rays, ... what comes next?
For infinite energy you'd need infinite frequency and zero wavelength.
I don't think there is a real theoretical limit for photon energies from particle collisions, other than something like (half) the energy available in the universe. Practically of course, our ability to build larger and more powerful accelerators is very much limited, but that is just an engineering consideration, nothing that would have to do with how photons or pair annihilation work.kuruman said:What kind of mechanism exists that could produce photons of higher and higher energy?

The energy is frame-dependent, so can be made arbitrarily large just by adopting a frame in which the source is moving towards us with sufficient speed. Blueshift will take it from there.kuruman said:Photon energy is not an independent variable that can be increased indefinitely.
The maximum wavelength of gamma rays is approximately 10^-11 meters, which corresponds to a frequency of about 10^21 hertz.
Gamma rays are produced through the decay of atomic nuclei, nuclear reactions, and high-energy collisions between particles.
If the wavelength of gamma rays could go higher, they would become less energetic and would be classified as X-rays. This would change their properties and potential uses in scientific research and medical imaging.
Yes, scientists have been able to create artificial gamma rays with higher wavelengths through the use of advanced technology, such as synchrotron radiation and laser-based techniques.
Higher wavelength gamma rays could potentially cause damage to living organisms, as they have the ability to penetrate through materials and ionize atoms. However, the level of danger would depend on the intensity and duration of exposure.
