Red light waves are almost double the length of blue or violet light waves. Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency; red light has a higher frequency than blue light.
In th visible spectrum blue and violet light are shorter than green. x-rays are way shorter than green.
The cones in the retina of our eyes are sensitive to certain frequencies of light within the visible light spectrum (ROYGBIV). Light waves with longer wavelengths (within the visible range of frequencies) are perceived to be on the red, orange, yellow side of the spectrum, while higher frequencies/shorter wavelengths of light appear blue or violet.
This light consists of all the colors of the rainbow, which are in the visible spectrum of electromagnetic waves. White light consists of: violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red, in the order from the lower end of the electromagnetic spectrum of visible light to the higher end of the spectrum.
Blue bends best. More precisely, the shorter the wavelength of the light, the more it is refracted. The blue/violet end of the spectrum is bent more than the red end.
The violet and blue parts of the solar spectrum are dispersed most, and this leads to the characteristic "blue sky" as seen from Earth's surface in the daytime.

Longer.
Light is a spectrum. On one end it is red and the other blue. We see light in this spectrum as waves and if it is blue, the object is coming toward us. If the waves are red than it is moving away. The frequency of these waves tell us how fast and object is moving toward or away from us.
The colour of an object is determined by the wavelengths of light it reflects. An object that is purley one wavelength (lets say a specific wavelength in the blue part of the spectrum) would be absorbing all visable wavelengths except that specific blue wavelength.
Due to something similar to the Doppler effect. A wave reaching us from an object travelling towards us will look shorter than the same wave from an object travelling away from us. In light shorter waves gets bluer end longer waves get redder.

Shorter or longer than what ? The wavelength of visible light is shorter than that of radio and heat, and longer than the wavelength of X-ray and gamma radiation. And the wavelength of green light is shorter than red light but longer than blue light.
Yes, radar waves are radio waves and too long for the eye to see (off the red end of the visible spectrum) and X rays are too short to see (off the blue/violet end of the visible spectrum).
No. The ones you can see are regarded as "visible light". In the electromagnetic spectrum, it has a shorter wavelength than radio waves, micro waves, and infra-red. After this is visible light which goes in the order of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. It has a longer wavelength than ultra-violet, x-rays and gamma-rays.
