Do smaller wavelengths carry less energy?
No. Shorter wavelength quanta packages called photons carry more energy the shorter the wave length gets.
What size wavelength carries the greatest amount of energy on earth?
lowest wavelength
Electromagnetic waves of the longest wavelength carry the greatest energy?
No. The energy of an EM wave is E = h*c / (wavelength), therefore waves with the shortest wavelength (or highest frequency) carry the greatest energy.
Which wavelength of electromagnectics radiation carries the most energy?
The shortest waves carry the most energy. Ultraviolet, X-rays and the like.
