That would be what we call "radio" waves.

Although, to the extent that there is E&M radiation from ordinary utility transmission lines, that would have a wavelength much longer than any radio communication. 60 Hz corresponds to a wavelength of something like 3,100 miles !

What region of the electromagnetic spectrum is 1100nm?

It lies in infrared region of electromagnetic spectrum.


Forms of electromagnetic radiation detected by the eye?

Visible light is a very small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is characterised by having a wavelength between 4x10-7m and 7x10-7m. The energy carried by a photon is Planck's constant divided by its wavelength.


In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum is the resonant frequency of electrons in glass?

I think in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum.


What is the shortest region of the electromagnetic spectum?

Visible region is the shortest region in the electromagnetic spectrum. Please see the attached picture. It is the shortest defined region. However if you mean wavelength, the further you go on the UV side, the shorter the wavelength. If you are talking about frequence, frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional, so it would be furthest to the IR side. The question is not about the shorter wavelength or less frequency. It is about the region covered in the whole spectrum. So visible with VIBGYOR having wavelength starting from 350 nm to 750 nm will be the visible region where as other regions such as UV and IR would have a larger range.


In the electromagnetic spectrum which has the shortest wavelength?

Shortest wavelength corresponds to highest energy, and this region of the EM spectrum contains high energy radiation such as X-rays and gamma rays.The part with the highest frequencies ... the end where the gamma rays are.

As you move from the blue region of the electromagnetic spectrum to the red region of the electromagnetic spectrum what happens to the frequency of the light?

colour blue ------> red frequency drops, wavelength increases, because speed remains constant and speed=frequency*wavelength


What is the range of electromagnetic radiation detected by the eye?

The human eye can detect electromagnetic radiation in the visible region of the spectrum only. This region extends to the radiations of wavelength of 7600-3800 Angstrom
