    The energy carried by one photon is directly proportional to its

    frequency. So the photon energy is greatest for the electromagnetic

    waves with the highest frequency / shortest wavelengths.

    That's why when you get past visible light and on up through ultraviolet,

    X-rays, and gamma rays, the radiation becomes dangerous = = > each

    photon carries enough energy to tear electrons away from their atoms,

    ripping molecules apart and damaging cells.

    The photon with the highest energy is a gamma-ray photon.
