The electromagnetic waves with the lowest frequencies are the ones we call "radio" waves.

The electromagnetic waves with the highest frequencies are the ones we call "gamma rays".

In between those are all the others . . . the microwaves, the heat ('thermal') waves, the infrared waves, the light waves, the ultraviolet waves, and the X-rays.
