Answer:

The sequence from longest wavelength (radio waves) to shortest wavelength (gamma rays) is also a sequence in energy from lowest energy to highest energy. Remember that waves transport energy from place to place. The energy carried by a radio wave is low, while the energy carried by a gamma ray is high.
