If you mean electromagnetic waves, the energy per photon is directly proportional to the frequency (and therefore inversely proportional to the wavelength). The total energy of the wave, of course, can be just about anything.

What are three ways waves interact with matter?

Keeping it simple, the three ways electromagnetic (EM) waves interact with matter include reflection, refractionand absorption.In reflection, the EM energy "bounces off" what it strikes. In refraction, the EM energy enters the material, but changes direction when it does. In absorption, the energy of the EM wave is "taken up" by the matter, and the energy is distributed within the atomic structure into which it entered.

What is the highest energy on the em spectrum?

I don't think there is a limit, as to how high the frequency can get. The EM waves of the highest energy (and frequency) are called "gamma rays".


How is wavelength of an EM wave related to its energy?

The shorter the wavelength of a wave, the higher its energy.
