Lowest-frequency: Radio Waves Highest-frequency: Gamma Waves Hope this helped! :)
There are many types of waves, but the main ones are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet waves, x-rays, and gamma rays. Radio waves have the longest wavelength and lowest frequency. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency.
Gamma rays have a much higher frequency then radio waves.
The term used for the lowest frequencies is "radio" and the term for the highest frequencies is X-ray/gamma ray depending on the source (sort of, it's complicated).
Gamma rays--powerful enough to melt your face off. Ouch. The Earth's electro-magnetic shield, generated by a molten, spinning magnetic core, can protect us from most of the sun's radiation, but it draws the line at gamma rays.
The highest frequency is gamma rays And the lowest is radio waves

Gamma Rays are the highest frequency waves. Lower than that are X-rays then Ultraviolet. Then visible light, infrared, microwave, and radio waves are the lowest frequency. Here is a link which gives more information http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/science/toolbox/emspectrum1.html

Almost. They are shorter than radio waves, and they are the next order up from radio waves, but they have different properties in terms of interaction with materials. So right idea, wrong classification. See the Related Links.
-- The lowest frequencies that we have a name for are what we call "radio" waves. -- The highest frequencies that we have a name for are what we call "gamma" rays. Although there is not upper or lower limit in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Radio waves are lower frequency.
Gamma ray

In order from lowest frequency to highest: radio, microwave, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x-ray, and gamma.
