This depends on the perspective.
As in radiowaves:
A short wave is in the range of 3-30 MHz.
This wave-length is in the High Frequency specter but still considered "short".
There are of course higher and shorter Frequencies.
As in visible light:
This can be considered to be from 400-790 terahertz
Red is a short wave-length of light.
and
Violet is a high wave-length of light.

What wave would have more enery one with a long wavelength or a short wavelength?
Both a wave with long wavelength and a wave with short wavelength can have a lot of energy, or little energy.Specifically in the case of electromagnetic waves, a short wavelength corresponds to high energy - but this is only the energy PER PHOTON. But note that each of such waves usually consists of a lot of photons.
Does gamma rays have a low frequency and a short wavelength?
No. Gamma rays have a high frequency, and a short wavelength.
Which wavelength carries more energy short or long?
Short wavelength wave carry not energy (in proportion to their frequency.)
Does a pitched baseball have a long wavelength or a short wavelength?
There is a simple answer and a complicated answer. The simple anser is, "Neither", the complicated answer is , "It depends."
What is short wavelength?
The distance between one waves crest or trough to the next waves peak or trough respectively. A short sound wavelength for instance, would result in a high pitch sound.
Do radio waves have short or long wavelength?
Short wavelength

What wavelength of ultraviolet light offers the strongest germicidal effciency?
short wavelength
Does ROY G. BIV list colors from long wavelength to short wavelength or short to long wavelength?
The color of visible light with the longest wavelength is red; the color with the shortest is violet. So "ROY G. BIV" lists the colors from long to short wavelength. Just to confuse you, we'll also mention that it lists them from lowest to highest frequency.
What is the opposite of long wavelength?
Short wavelengths.
What affects light with short wavelength more than light with long wavelength?
Scattering of light
How does the energy associated with waves change as the wavelength change?
A short wavelength means higher energy
What is important about the peak wavelength of a thermal radiation spectrum?
The peak wavelength, is connected to the temperature of the objects. we have short peak wavelength when the temperature is high.
What sound has a short wavelength?
A higher pitched sound has a shorter wavelength than a lower pitched sound.
A wave with a short wavelength will also have a?
High frequency.
