Well, I assume you are talking about waves, am I correct? Frequency is the distance between the crest and the trough of a wave. Gamma rays are the waves of highest frequency that we know of. Ultraviolet possesses a frequency just above the frequency of visible light (remember ROYGBIV). Descend in frequency beneath red and you'll come to infrared. While snakes can detect this (I am not yet sure how) the human eye cannot detect anything of this low frequency although we often use this in modern technology (note nightvision goggles). The higher the frequency, the smaller the wavelength and vice versa. Radio waves have an extremely short frequency and an extremely long wavelength.
No, gamma rays have a high frequency and a short wavelength compared to other forms of electromagnetic radiation, such as visible light. They are the most energetic and penetrating type of electromagnetic radiation.
When a wave has high frequency, the wavelength is short. This is because frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional in waves. A higher frequency means more waves pass a given point in a given time, resulting in shorter wavelengths.
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.
Yes, high frequency waves have shorter wavelengths. This is because frequency and wavelength are inversely related in a wave, meaning that as frequency increases, wavelength decreases.
True. The frequency of light is very fast as it is a wave oscillating at a high rate. This high frequency corresponds to a short wavelength, which is the distance between two consecutive peaks of the wave.
high frequency = short wavelength
The wavelengths of high frequency sounds are short. This is because high frequency sounds have more cycles per second, resulting in shorter distances between peaks in the sound wave.

High frequency.
Short wave frequency has a shorter wave length. Frequency is defined as number of cycles per second. If you have shorter waves (measure from peak to peak) you can get more of these packed into one second, so the frequency is higher.
