Electromagnetic radiation, or light, is a form of energy. Light travels in waves at a constant speed, and so it always has a wavelenghth and a corresponding frequency. As the wavelength gets shorter, the frequency increases. As the frequency increases, the amount of energy carried per photon increases.
Another word for frequency, when talking about light, is color.
The visible frequencies of light range from red to violet, with red having the lowest frequency/largest wavelength and violet having the highest frequency/shortest wavelength.
There are many times more frequencies of light that cannot be seen than can.
Going more energetic from violet, you have ultraviolet (UV), X-rays, and gamma rays.
Gamma rays are every color of light higher than a certain frequency, and so you could theoretically have a color of light with infinite energy in one photon, and it would still be a gamma ray.

∙ 11y agoThe energy per photon increases in direct proportion to the frequency of
electromagnetic radiation, so the most energetic is that with the highest
frequency/shortest wavelength.
That's the range of EM we call "gamma rays".

Gamma Radiation
how does the energy from space the sun travel through space to the earth?
Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through space by electromagnetic radiation. Most of the electromagnetic radiation that comes to the earth from the sun is invisible. ... In electromagnetic radiation, its frequency is the number of electromagnetic waves moving past a point each second.
What makes up radiant energy?
In most contexts radiant energy would be assumed to be made up of electromagnetic radiation, such as light. The force carrier for electromagnetic radiation is a massless fundamental particle, the photon.
