highest frequency / shortest wavelength / same speed as all other photons.
There is no such thing as the highest frequency. Since photons or electromagnetic travel at the speed of light its frequency correlates to the energy. The highest energy, and thus the highest frequency, is found in cosmic radiation, where a single photon may carry many millions of kiloelectronvolts.
Photon energy can be increased by following two methods. 1). by increase in frequency of one photon as (E = hf); where f denotes the frequency of corresponding region. In this case, the electromagnetic region will change to higher frequency region or shorter wavelength region. The photon energy may increase, but not the intensity. 2). secondly increase in the number of photons (n) as E= nhf. If the number of photons of a particular frequency increase, photon energy also increases. In this case, intensity of light of definite frequency (either blue, red etc.) increase simultaneously.
Energy (E) of photons of electromagnetic radiation is given by Planck's equation ..E = hf .. h = Planck constant (6.625^-34 Js), f = frequency (Hz)So E is proportional to frequency .. radiation with the highest frequency is Gamma
The frequency is 666 MHz.

The highest frequency electromagnetic waves are called gamma rays. The waves are emitted from nuclei .
Shortest wavelength means the highest frequency, meaning the photons have the highest energy. That is color violet. The violet light colors the skin brown. Red light with lower energy photons cannot do that.

Visible radiation: 370-750 nm. Infrared radiation: 750 nm-300 μm These wavelenghts are not long.
Photons with higher energy correspond to electromagnetic radiation with higher frequency/shorter wavelength. In the visible band, the color with the highest frequency is the last one you can see on the VIOLET end of the spectrum.
The lowest frequency of visible light ... assume wavelength = 750 nm ...is around 400,000 GHz.The highest frequency of audible sound is around 20 KHz.So the smallest ratio ... lowest frequency of light to highest frequency of sound ...is 4 x 1014/2 x 104 = 20 billion .
A photon with energy 3.0 x 10-19 J A photon with wavelength 525 nm A photon with frequency 7.6 x 1014 Hz A photon with frequency 2 x 1015 Hz

Higher frequency photons have more energy than lower frequency photons.
