Does red bends the most when the light rays bend?
No. The longer the wavelength the less the waves refract. Infrared bends even less.
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.
If Radio waves have a longer wavelength than microwaves What else is true about radio waves?
If the wavelength is longer, then the frequency is lower and the energy is less.
Does short-wavelength light carry more energy or less energy than long-wavelength light?
The shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency, and the higher the energy, so X-rays carry more energy than radio waves.
Do long or short waves have the highest wave speed?
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".

Do radio waves disturb matter?
Radio waves will disturb matter which is more or less on the order of magnitude of the wavelength of the waves.
Do long or short waves have the highest wave speed?
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 less energy a wave has the smaller its?
If it is a mechanical wave, then the lower amplitude waves would have less energy. If you are talking about electromagnetic waves, then higher frequency waves (shorter wavelength) have more energy, and lower frequency waves have less energy.
What happens to the you increase the wavelength?
Remember that wavelength x frequency = speed of the wave.If you increase the wavelength, the frequency will decrease - since the speed of most waves is more or less independent of the frequency or wavelength.
What is the wavelength and frequency for radio waves?
The wavelength is greater than 300E6/300E9 = 1 mm and the frequency is less than about 300 Gigacycles.
Electromagnetic waves with a long wavelength occur at a frequency and are energetic?
Low frequency and less energetic.
What do you mean by a microwave?
is a system of equipment used for microwave data transmission.
Which wavelength has more energy short or long?
Short wavelengths has more energy. (X-rays Gamma rays belongs to this category.) Long wavelengths has less energy (radio waves and light belongs to this category). I hope this would be enough.
