Does gamma rays have the shortest wave lengths?

Yes.


What electromagnetic waves have the shortest wave lengths?

huh..


Why does the color of things change when they are hot?

as a surface heats up the wave lengths of energy emitted by the surface shorten. If the surface gets hot enough the wave lengths generated will reach the visible spectrum starting at the longer wave lengths eg red and as the surface gets even hotter the wave lengths shorten even more heading towards the white and blue end of the visible spectrum.


What has wave lengths longer than the wave lengths of visible light?

Radio waves, microwaves and infrared light have a longer wavelength and lower frequency than visible light.


Do light waves or gamma rays have shorter wave lengths?

I assume by light rays, you mean visible light rays. In this case, gamma rays have shorter wave lengths.


What is the relationship between the color and temperature of the star?

It depends on the stars wave-lengths for most of it. Stars that are cool (for stars at least- measured in kelvin) normally radiate there energy in the electromagnetic spectrum as red. Even though all stars in the sky appear to be white. Hot stars radiate much larger wave lengths, causing an almost blue color to be emitted. The only way for us to know how hot a star is... is finding where it's wavelengths are at there "peek". Wave lengths are NOT visible to the human eye.


Is speed of light is the same for all the wave lengths?

yes


Can WiFi be affected by FM?

No, they operate on different wave lengths.
