There is only one type of wave that humans can see. Visible light. If the wave given off by the electric power line is visible light, then yes. If it is any other type of wave than it is not possible to see.

Waves given off by electric power lines are too to be seen?

The electromagnetic waves given off by high voltage power lines are beyond the visible part of the spectrum.


Are waves given off by the electric power lines to long or to short to be seen?

They are too long. For a good comparison of different waves, look up "electromagnetic spectrum".


Is it true waves given off by electric power lines are too long to be seen?

Yes. What you need to look at is the electromagnetic spectrum. There are many great graphical illustrations of this on the web.


Waves giving off by electric power lines are too what to be seen?

They are way below the frequencies we see as light. Their frequency (60hz) is just inside the bottom of the audio range.


What is the source of all electromagnet waves?

Electromagnetic waves come from accelerating electric charges, often electrons in atoms. The energy given off travels in a wave that is partly electric and partly magnetic.


Is there any process by which current can be transmitten without any medium?

Power is transmitted via radio waves for FM, AM radio, wifi, bluetooth, etc. Current is one component of power (you also need voltage). HV power lines transmit significant power in the electric field around the wires as well.
