No. The energy of an EM wave is E = h*c / (wavelength), therefore waves with the shortest wavelength (or highest frequency) carry the greatest energy.
The shorter the wavelength of a wave, the higher its energy.
It tells you that the longer the wavelength the lower the energy. From the wavelength, one can also calculate the actual energy by using E = cxh/lambda where c is speed of light, h is Plank's constant and lambda is the wavelength.
The energy of EM radiation depends on its frequency, and the lowest frequency corresponds to the lowest energy. Radio waves are at the low end of the energy and frequency spectrum.
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.

Radio waves have the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum (EM), and are pure energy, they have no mass.
Gamma radiation
As the wavelength decreases, the energy increases.
gamma rays
The shorter the wavelength of a wave, the higher its energy.
Extremely low frequency (ELF) waves have wavelength of the order of 100 megametres ( = 100,000 kilometres).
Radio Waves. Their wavelength is 103 meters (1 kilometer). Because of this, their waves have the lowest frequency.
