From lowest frequency (longer wavelengths) to highest frequent (smaller wavelengths):

Radio waves

Microwaves

Infrared

Visible Light

Ultraviolet

X-rays

Gamma rays

The electromagnetic frequency with high frequency and smaller wavelengths have the largest energies and can penetrate physical substances. This is why X-rays are used in medical imaging and can damage DNA
