Astronomy is a natural science that studies celestial objects and phenomena. It applies mathematics, physics, and chemistry, in an effort to explain the origin of those objects and phenomena and their evolution.

Energy of EMWs is directly proportional to the frequency and inversely proportional to wavelength.

Thus list of EMWs in order of increasing energy is:

Radio waves, Micro waves, infrared, visible, UV, X rays, gamma rays
