Radio waves have almost the lowest frequency of any electromagnetic wave, but as the frequency, f, is related to the wavelength, l , and the speed of light, c, by the equation:
f=c/l
this means that they have one of the longest wavelengths of all electromagnetic waves.
On most illustrations of the electromagnetic spectrum, you will see Radio waves shown as the lowest frequencies of all. In fact, there are lower frequencies called ELF (extremely low frequency) waves. The most commonly encountered ELF waves are those that result from 50/60Hz electricity power lines, with wavelengths of some 6000km.
In principle, though, there is no reason to suppose that there is a longest possible wavelength wave on the electromagnetic spectrum - electromagnetic waves may exist that have wavelengths of the order of light years, for example.

What wave with the longest wavelength and the lowest frequency are?
Radio waves have the longest wavelength and the lowest frequency among all types of electromagnetic waves. They are used in communication and are emitted by sources like radio stations and cell phones.
How are radio waves xrays microwaves and the suns rays different?
Radio waves ... including microwaves ... and X-rays are different only in wavelength (frequency). The sun radiates all of them.
What type of EMR has the longest wavelength?
A photon is a fundamental or elementary particle and the carrier of the electromagnetic field. In this light (no pun intended) it can be applied to all electromagnetic energy, including radio waves. There wouldn't be a "lowest frequency" of electromagnetic radiation that was not photonic. ---- ...or if there was it would have a wavelength the size of the Universe : ) Couldn't carry a whole lot of data there...
What is the longest all the electro magnetic waves?
The electromagnetic spectrum includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. Of these, radio waves have the longest wavelength and lowest frequency, while gamma rays have the shortest wavelength and highest frequency.
What type of waves of electomagnetic waves?
When you listen to the radio, watch TV, or cook dinner in a microwave oven, you are using electromagnetic waves. Radio waves, television waves, and microwaves are all types of electromagnetic waves. They differ from each other in wavelength. Wavelength is the distance between one wave crest to the next. For more info, click the link below.
What is the measurement between waves?
Distance between two waves is known as wavelength. Out of all electromagnetic spectrum, radio waves have the longest wavelength and gamma rays have the shortest wavelength. Waves that have less wavelength are highly energetic.
Is Radio waves are shorter than waves of visible light?
Yes, radio waves have a longer wavelength than visible light. They are part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
How is a radio wave different from the colors?
Radio waves have a much longer wavelength. Colours or visible light have a wavelength of less than 1 thousandth of a millimetre, while radio waves can have wavelengths up to 30 kilometres. They are all types of electromagnetic wave whose existence was predicted by James Clerk Maxwell.
How microwaves are linked to other waves such as light or radio waves?
All electromagnetic waves ... including the ones you listed, plus heat, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, etc. ... are all the same physical phenomenon. They differ only in their wavelength (frequency). By the way ... 'microwaves' are considered 'radio' waves.

What is the wavelength of radio waves emitted at 81.6 MHz when the speed of all electromagnetic waves in empty space is 3.00 x 1000000000 meters per second?
The wavelength of radio waves emitted at 81.6 MHz can be calculated using the formula: wavelength = speed of light / frequency. Plugging in the values, we get wavelength = (3.00 x 10^8 m/s) / 81.6 x 10^6 Hz = 3.68 meters. Therefore, the wavelength of the radio waves emitted at 81.6 MHz is 3.68 meters.
Why is microwaves found between infrared and radio waves?
the electromagnetic spectrum (all existing radiation) is organized in order of shortest wavelength from the left to longest wavelength from the right. Infrared waves, felt as heat, are slightly longer than the visible light spectrum, and microwaves longer still, and radio waves longer still.
