The speed is usually more or less independent of the wavelength. It really depends on the exact nature of the wave; in the case of an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum, the speed is completely independent of the wavelength - all such waves move at the same speed, the so-called "speed of light".

What bends more light waves with short wavelengths or light waves with long wavelenths?
Light waves with long wavelengths
Radar waves are too long or too short to be seen?
Radar waves are too long to be seen.
The speed of what tells whether a sound will be a high or low pitch?
The speed of the vibration. High speed vibration = high frequency = short wavelength = high pitch. Low speed vibration = low frequency = long waves = low pitch.
What are the electromagnetic waves of energy from long to short?
long medium short vhf uhf microwave
What is the difference between a long wavelength and a short wavelength?
The difference is that with the longer wavelengths, the lower the frequency and the speed of the waves will be. The smaller the wavelength is, the higher the frequency and the speed will be. Wavelength is measured by the distance between two spectrums (the highest point on the wave) do not copy this answer.write it in your own words or you will learn nothing. also, if you copy, that is plagarism. I hope you enjoy this breif definiton. thank you.
Is Long wavelength visible light have a speed that is slower than short wavelength light?
No. The speed of light is the same for long wave and short wave light. c=fw where w is the wavelength and f is the frequency. The speed c is a constant. The frequency is different for different wavelengths. High frequency for short waves and low frequency for long waves.
Do radio waves have short or long wavelength?
Short wavelength
What bends more light waves with short wavelengths or light waves with long wavelenths?
Light waves with long wavelengths

Is it true that short waves such as the color black are bent more than long waves?
yes
Are radar waves too long or too short to be seen?
Too Long.
Are radar waves too short to see?
no they are too long

What waves have long wavelengths?
That is a vast subject, so I will confine myself to audible sound waves. In audible sound waves, the long wavelengths are the lowest notes, and vice-versa: The short wavelengths are the highest notes. When you hear the thump of a bass drum, or hear the organist in church put their foot down on one of the lowest pedals on the pedalboard, you are hearing a note of very long wavelength.
Do radars have long or short waves?
Radar dectectors have very long waves. In fact they are longer than light waves which must travel all the way here from the sun.
