Low amplitude
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.
A wave with a short wavelength has high frequency and carries more energy. Shorter wavelengths tend to have higher energy photons and can be more damaging, such as ultraviolet and x-rays. Additionally, short wavelengths are more easily scattered by particles in the atmosphere, causing phenomena like blue skies.
The wavelength of a wave with low speed but high frequency would be short.
To create the bumpiest waves, you would want a combination of high wave height, short wavelength, and short wave period. High wave height will produce bigger peaks and troughs, while a short wavelength will create more frequent crests and troughs. A short wave period will make these crests and troughs arrive more rapidly, enhancing the bumpiness of the waves.
The product of (frequency) x (wavelength) is always the same number ... the speedof the wave. So the lower frequencies must have longer wavelengths.

That's short. (Note that the question avoids any definition of 'low' or 'high', so any answer should suffice.)
High frequency.

The frequency of a wave is not directly related to the wave length. A low frequency wave or a high frequency wave may be either long-wave or short-wave.
Wave velocity in general = frequency x wavelength As the velocity of the wave remains constant then frequency and wavelength are inversely related So as the wavelength becomes shorter then frequency becomes larger or higher
If the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is too long, it may not interact efficiently with objects or materials that are small compared to its wavelength. If the wavelength is too short, it may not penetrate materials or be easily absorbed by certain substances. This can affect the transmission and reception of the wave in different mediums.
Yes, the shorter the wavelength, the higher the energy. Gamma waves have the shortest wavelengths of all the electromagnetic radiation waves and carry the greatest energy. Radio and TV waves have the longest wavelengths and carry the least energy.
The product of (frequency) times (wavelength) is always the same number ... it's the speed of the wave. So if the frequency increases, the wavelength must decrease, to keep the product constant.
