The correct statement describes the relationship between wavelength, frequency, and energy is:

**Waves with a short wavelength have a high frequency and high energy.**

This is because, according to the wave equation, \( c = \lambda f \) (where \( c \) is the speed of light, \( \lambda \) is wavelength, and \( f \) is frequency), shorter wavelengths correspond to higher frequencies. Additionally, energy is directly proportional to frequency, as described by the equation \( E = hf \) (where \( E \) is energy and \( h \) is Planck's constant).
