In any set of different wavelengths, the wave which has the shortest wavelength is the wave which has the highest frequency.
This is true is because any wave's frequency and wavelength are directly related by the speed at which the wave travels along: its 'speed of propogation'.
The relevant formula is wavelength x frequency = speed of propogation.

A radio wave is an electromagnetic wave. It's a form of electromagnetic radiation.
The term "radio" is the name given to a part of the spectrum of electromagnetic waves that is used for radio and television broadcasting, mobile phones, terrestrial and satellite wireless communications networks, etc.
The whole wide spectrum of electromagnetic waves has frequencies (and wavelengths) ranging from "audio" to "radio" to "infrared" to "visual light" to "X-Rays", and beyond to "gamma rays" at the very top end of the spectrum.
Frequency and wavelength are directly related by the speed at which the wave travels: its "speed of propogation".
The relevant formula is wavelength x frequency = speed of propogation.
The speed of propogation of electromagnetic waves travelling through space is approximately 186,000 miles per second. (About 300,000 kilometers per second.)

There is no upper limit to how much energy (and frequency) an electromagnetic wave can have. The highest frequency waves are called gamma radiation.There is no upper limit to how much energy (and frequency) an electromagnetic wave can have.

Radio waves
Yes, they are the electromagnetic wave with the lowest frequency.
frequency x wavelength = speed of the wave. This applies to all waves, not just to electromagnetic waves.
The electromagnetic waves which have the shortest wavelength (and thus, the highest frequency, and the highest energy per photon) are called gamma rays.

For the same speed of a wave (I suppose you are referring to electromagnetic waves), the highest frequency corresponds to the shortest wavelength.For the same speed of a wave (I suppose you are referring to electromagnetic waves), the highest frequency corresponds to the shortest wavelength.For the same speed of a wave (I suppose you are referring to electromagnetic waves), the highest frequency corresponds to the shortest wavelength.For the same speed of a wave (I suppose you are referring to electromagnetic waves), the highest frequency corresponds to the shortest wavelength.
hazers OK well a gamma wave is the shortest wave length and the highest Frequency of electromagnetic waves ! one of the most hostile waves ever !

Radio waves in electromagnetic waves/water waves
The electromagnetic waves which have the shortest wavelength (and thus, the highest frequency, and the highest energy per photon) are called gamma rays.
In general, higher frequency waves carry more energy than waves of lower frequency if their amplitudes are equal. This is absolutely true of electromagnetic waves, and can probably be most easily demonstrated there.
P waves (PRIMARY Waves) have the highest average velocity as they travel through the earth's materials.
