Longer wavelength less energy and shorter wavelength equals more energy. This is because velocity (speed)=frequency x wavelength. And te velocity of all EM waves is the speed of light.
we know the expression-
frequency=speed of light(c)/wavelength
Energy is given by- E=h*frequency=h*c/wavelength {h=Planck's constant}
so,energy is directly proportional to frequency and inversly proportional to wavelength...that is energy increases with increase in frequency and decreases with increase in wavelength.
example:-red color has more wavelength and hence has less energy.

What type of EM radiation has the shortest wave length and the most energy?
gamma rays
How is wavelength of an EM wave related to its energy?
The shorter the wavelength of a wave, the higher its energy.
How is the frequency of an EM wave related to it's energy?
The higher the frequency of a wave, the higher its energy.
How does the wavelength of a wave change when the frequency changes?
Usually with electromagnetic waves, the frequency and energy is opposite to the wavelength. An EM wave such as radiowaves have huge wavelengths, slow frequencies and small amounts of energy. An EM wave such as X-rays have tiny wavelengths, fast frequencies and large amounts of energy.
What happens when you increase electromagnetic wave?
To increase the intensity, if that's what you mean, more energy is required. That would also mean that the electromagnetic wave carries more energy.
What type of EM radiation has the shortest wave length and the most energy?
gamma rays
What kind of EM wave has the lowest energy?
radio wave
How is wavelength of an EM wave related to its energy?
The shorter the wavelength of a wave, the higher its energy.
How em wave are generated from photon?
em wave is generated by photons which emitter the energy in the form of light
How is the frequency of an EM wave related to it's energy?
The higher the frequency of a wave, the higher its energy.
What gamma waves have?
Gamma waves have the shortest wavelength of any electromagnetic wave in the EM spectrum, the shortest wavelength means highest cyclic frequency, and highest intensity of any EM wave. (energy transferance by gamma waves is the strongest) *intensity is a measure of the height of the sine wave as opposed to to length, essentially more energy in a smaller crossectional area.

How do you find energy of an EM wave?
E=hv Where: E is energy h is plank's constant and v is frequency.
What does the wavelength of an EM wave tell about its energy?
The shorter the wavelength of a wave, the higher its energy.
What does the wavelength of an em tell about it's energy?
As the wavelength decreases, the energy increases.
Which of the EM waves has the highest energy?
The ones we call "gamma rays" do. Their frequency is so high that in the time of one cycle, light travels only a distance similar to the size of an atom.
