This is true. Each photon carries more energy when it has shorter wavelength / higher frequency.
... shorter in wavelength.
The wavelength, E = hc/wavelength.
Gamma rays have the most energy per photon.
It is electromagnetic radiation just like radio, microwaves, visible light etc.. except it has the highest frequency and energy and shortest wavelength of all electromagnetic radiation.

Electromagnetic radiation
The wavelength, E = hc/wavelength.
Energy is equal to Planck's constant times the speed of light divided by the wavelength of the light. E=h*c / lambda. So the electromagnetic radiation with the largest wavelength will correspond to the lowest energy. Since radio waves have the largest wavelength (about 1,000m) they will have the lowest energy!
