If you increased the wavelength of gamma enough to become a new wave, what type of wave would then have?

As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease. From these equations you may realize that as the frequency increases, the wavelength gets shorter.Mechanical and electromagnetic waves with long wavelengths contain less energy than waves with short wavelengths.
