What bends more light waves with short wavelengths or light waves with long wavelenths?
Light waves with long wavelengths
Do short wavelengths have a higher velocity than long wavelengths?
No.
Does blue or violet light have a long wavelength?
No. Some are longer trhan others, but they are all very short. Light visible to the human eye has wavelengths ranging from a little more than 100 micrometers (infrared) to less than 1 nanometers (ultraviolet). In reference to visible light, infrared is referred to as long wavelength and ultraviolet as short wavelength light. I can't remember the units, but the human visible area is from about 400 (deep blue) to 700 (red), so a rather more restricted range than implied above. All those wavelengths are indeed very short.
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.
How does the electromagnetic spectrum arrange different types of radiation?
Yes. The different types are determined by their wavelength. We have assigned 7 commonly-used names to the different wavelengths (although within each type, you can get more wavelengths, as it is a continuous scale). The names are, from long wavelengths to short: Radio Waves, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible Light (the one we can see with our eyes), Ultraviolet, X-rays, and Gamma Ways (γ-rays). Ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays are ionizing, which means they can add or remove electrons from atoms, which can change the way they react. This is why they are dangerous. Infrared, microwaves and radio waves are not ionizing. They have longer wavelengths and less energy. Radio waves can have wavelengths of hundreds of meters, and visible light has wavelengths on the order of nanometers.
What affects light with short wavelengths more than light with long wavelengths?
Scattering of light
What bends more light waves with short wavelengths or light waves with long wavelenths?
Light waves with long wavelengths
How long are X-ray wavelengths compared with ultraviolet wavelengths?
Ultraviolet photons have wavelengths below 400nm. X-ray photons have wavelengths between 0.01nm - 10nm. Photons with wavelengths smaller than xrays' are called gamma rays.
What advantages in structural biology are gained by the synchrotron?
A small part of the electromagnetic spectrum which ranges from the long wavelengths-radio waves, microwaves and infrared through the visible spectrum to the short wavelengths of ultraviolet light, X-Rays and gamma rays. Synchrotron light is unique in its intensity and brilliance and it can be generated across the range of the electromagnetic spectrum.
What waves are the lowest and most damaging?
The shorter electromagnetic wavelengths are the more harmful. Shortwave ultraviolet is more harmful than long wave ultraviolet light. With even shorter wavelengths are gamma rays and x-rays which can cause genetic mutations and cell damage leading to death.
Do short wavelengths have a higher velocity than long wavelengths?
No.

Why can't you see infrared light or radiowaves with your naked eyes?
Answer Your brain can't see heat, ultraviolet light, radiowaves, X-Rays, etc. with your naked eyes, because these different kinds of light's wavelengths are either too long or too short for your naked eyes to see. So that is why you can't see infrared
