The energy carried by one photon is directly proportional to its
frequency.  So the photon energy is greatest for the electromagnetic
waves with the highest frequency / shortest wavelengths. 

That's why when you get past visible light and on up through ultraviolet,
X-rays, and gamma rays, the radiation becomes dangerous ==> each
photon carries enough energy to tear electrons away from their atoms,
ripping molecules apart and damaging cells.

The photon with the highest energy is a gamma-ray photon.
