The ones we call "gamma rays" do. Their frequency is so high that in the time
of one cycle, light travels only a distance similar to the size of an atom.

What is the highest energy on the em spectrum?
I don't think there is a limit, as to how high the frequency can get. The EM waves of the highest energy (and frequency) are called "gamma rays".
What is the energy transferred as em waves?
EM waves or electromagnetic waves is radiant energy.
Which type of em spectrum has the highest 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.
Electromagnetic waves of the longest wavelength carry the greatest energy?
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.
What type of light waves carry the most energy?
Gamma radiation is an extremely high frequency EM wave and is probably the common lightwave with the highest energy. Since energy is proportional to frequency, the highest energy wave would be that with the highest frequency.

What gamma waves have?
Gamma waves have the shortest wavelength of any electromagnetic wave in the EM spectrum, the shortest wavelength means highest cyclic frequency, and highest intensity of any EM wave. (energy transferance by gamma waves is the strongest) *intensity is a measure of the height of the sine wave as opposed to to length, essentially more energy in a smaller crossectional area.

No

EM waves with the highest frequency are?
Gamma rays.
Which EM waves has the highest frequency?
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.

What electromagnetic waves has the highest energy?
The highest energy are the gamma rays.
Do all EM waves transfer matter from place to place?
False. EM Waves do not transfer matter, they transfer energy.
