What I would do is order these from most dangerous to least dangerous, since that's approximately the same as ordering them from highest frequency to lowest frequency.

High frequency means it is "waving" very frequently. So that means to do one complete wave, it takes less time since it's faster. So high frequency means short wavelength.

Give it your best shot and I'll help you understand the details.
