Diffraction angle is roughly proportional to wavelength (see ref.), so for a given order minimum, red diffracts more than violet light. But red is the longer wavelength, not the shorter.

Do waves diffract best when their wavelength is similar in size to the opening they are moving through?
Yes i took this question yesterday in science
Can light waves diffract as any other waves?
Yes even sound waves diffract
Compared to the wavelength of ultraviolet waves the wavelength of infrared waves is?
Longer.
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.
How does the wavelength of infrared compared the wavelength of ultraviolet waves?
Wavelength of infra red would be greater than that of ultra violet waves.

Why do radio waves diffract around building's while light waves do not?
Light waves do diffract, but the effect is very very small. In general diffraction effects are important when the object interacting with the wave has dimensions that are comparable to the wavelength of the wave. Light waves have much shorter wavelength compared to the radio waves. Hence the effect. (It should also be noted that radio waves penetrate buildings much better than light waves, but that leads to a more nuanced discussion of diffraction effects.)
The type of radio waves that are diffracted the most around small buildings are?
AM Waves diffract more than FM waves.
Can sound wave diffract?
No. Diffraction is not a wave; it is something that HAPPENS to waves; to all sorts of waves.
Compared to the wavelength of ultraviolet waves the wavelength of infrared waves is?
Longer.
Which electromagnetic waves has the longest wavelength?
"radio waves" have longest wavelength..
Do red waves orange waves blue waves or radio waves have a higher rate of energy?
Higher energy is carried by electromagnetic radiation with higher frequency (shorter wavelength). Of the items listed in the question, the one with the highest frequency (shortest wavelength) is blue light.
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.
What is the relationship between diffraction and the wavelength of light?
the wavelength is very small,so light wave cannot bend very much by diffraction unless it passes through a narrow opening.light waves cannot diffract very much around big obstacles such as buildings.but light waves can always dffract a small amount
How does the wavelength of infrared (IR) compare with the wavelength of Ultraviolet (UV) waves?
IR waves are longer than UV waves.
How does the wavelength of infrared compared the wavelength of ultraviolet waves?
Wavelength of infra red would be greater than that of ultra violet waves.
