Scattering of light
The wavelength of infrared light is too long for humans to see.
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.

Short wavelength
I looked it up in my physics text book and it says that the wavelength is too long to be seen by the human eye.

The color of visible light with the longest wavelength is red; the color with the shortest is violet. So "ROY G. BIV" lists the colors from long to short wavelength. Just to confuse you, we'll also mention that it lists them from lowest to highest frequency.
No, the wavelength of light is actually very short, ranging from nanometers to hundreds of micrometers. Frequency, on the other hand, is high, ranging from hundreds of terahertz to hundreds of petahertz for visible light frequencies.
The wavelength of infra-red light is LONGER than the wavelength of red light, and longer than anything to which the eye responds.
False. The wavelength of light is inversely related to its frequency. Longer wavelengths have lower frequencies and vice versa.
