Question

In the final moments of a massive star, its core may undergo gravitational collapse, leading to super luminous supernova, an explosion which may be accompanied by an extremely powerful but brief burst of electromagnetic energy in the form of a ray. The composing waves may have wavelengths shorter than 1pm. In what part of the electromagnetic spectrum do these waves belong? Radio Gamma X-ray Ultraviolet
