Question
Which of the following electromagnetic waves has (a) minimum wavelength, and (b) minimum frequency? Write one use of each of these two waves.
Infrared waves, Microwaves, $\gamma$-rays and X-rays

Answer

The minimum wavelength or Maximum frequency has maximum energy and vice versa, $\gamma$ - Ray has maximum energy so it has a minimum wavelength and Microwaves have minimum energy so it has a maximum frequency.
Use of electromagnetic waves: 
Infrared waves:
Heat-sensitive thermal imaging cameras, Remote controls. 
Microwaves: microwave radio relay networks, radar, satellite, and spacecraft communication. 
$\gamma$-rays: Used as tracers in medicine, Astronomy.
X-rays: checking fracture
