Answer:

The greatest amount of energy is carried by a wave with the largest frequency.

Step-by-step explanation:

velocity= frequency X wavelength

If the three waves moves with the same t the speed of light, then those with the largest frequency have more energy.

That is to say, a wave with a higher frequency and a lower wavelength will have the highest energy.
