I believe the answer is: longwave, shortwave

Longwave and shortwave radiation is distinguished by the amount of energy they contains. The longwave radiation typically contains lower amount of energy compared to shortwave radiation (which is why radiation emitting from the sun provide the highest level energy in earth's pyramid of food)
