Waves will have their highest speed when they are traveling through a medium with the lowest resistance, such as in a vacuum for electromagnetic waves or in a material with high elasticity for mechanical waves. The speed of waves is determined by the properties of the medium they are traveling through, such as density and elasticity.
Electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, have the highest speed in a vacuum, moving at the speed of light, which is approximately 300,000 kilometers per second.
That depends on the speed of the waves. If you are considering waves at the same speed, then yes, shorter wavelength equals higher frequency. The formula is: frequency = speed / wavelength or wavelength = speed / frequency From this you can clearly see, that if speed remains constant, then when wavelength decreases the frequency will increase and vice versa.
The speed is usually more or less independent of the wavelength. It really depends on the exact nature of the wave; in the case of an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum, the speed is completely independent of the wavelength - all such waves move at the same speed, the so-called "speed of light".
A P-wave (primary wave) is expected to have the greatest wave speed among seismic waves, traveling through solids, liquids, and gases. P-waves are compressional waves that can travel through the Earth's interior with the highest velocity compared to other types of seismic waves.
Radio waves travel at the speed of light, which is the fastest speed possible in a vacuum. Infrared waves also travel at the speed of light, so both types of waves travel at the same speed.

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.

The waves are highest in the winter/January.

Gamma waves have the highest frequency (and energy) of all the electromagnetic waves. Gamma Ray Bursts (GRB) from outer space (and that's about all we know of them!) have extraordinary high energies, and hence frequencies.
Electromagnetic waves always travel at whatever the speed of light is in the material they're traveling through. That's the highest possible speed for anything moving in that particular material, so it can't be called "slow".
Radio waves travel at the speed of light, which is the fastest speed possible in a vacuum. Infrared waves also travel at the speed of light, so both types of waves travel at the same speed.
The highest frequency electromagnetic waves are gamma rays.
Gamma rays are the shortest and highest energy waves in the electromagnetic spectrum.
Radio waves travel with the highest speed in vacuum, and slightly slower in air. So they move slightly faster in space than on earth.
