If your only counting the phalanges (those are the bones that make up your fingers) and not the metacarpals (the bones that make up your hand that connect to your fingers, then the thumb is the shortest digit on the human hand. On the human foot, it is the little toe (which is the one on the outside part of your foot; the big toe would be the one on the inside, towards your groin area, the little toe is opposite).
If you were to count the metacarpals, then the pinky, or little finger, would be the shortest digit on the human hand.
It would still be the little toe if you were counting metatarsals (the bones that make up your foot).

Is your thumb your shortest digit?
I would say that your little toe is your shortest digit.
Why is the shortest wavelength of visible light 400nm?
Because the average human being has no receptors on the retinas of his eyes that respond to electromagnetic waves that are shorter than that.
What is the shortest gland in human body?
the pituitary gland, and is also the one that produces the most hormones.
What species has the largest skull?
The animal that has the largest skull on the shortest spine relatively speaking would probably be a Human (Homo Sapien) or a Neanderthal (Homo Neanderthalensis), both Neanderthals and Humans have relatively large skulls as they are well encephalized. they also have a relatively short vertebral column, the most flexible and shortest backbone among all primates.The Sperm Whale (Physeter Macrocephalus) (Cachalot) is the animal with the largest skull in the world (both in general and aquatically).The African Bush Elephant (Loxodonta Africana) is the largest-skulled terrestrial animal in the world.The extinct aquatic animal with the largest skull would probably be either a Mosasaurus Hoffmannii or a Carcharodon Megaladon.The Titanoceratops Ouranos is the extinct terrestrial animal with the largest skull.The members of the Order Anura (Frogs) have the shortest spines (shortest spinal columns) (shortest vertebral columns) (shortest backbones).The animal that has the largest skull on the shortest spine (shortest spinal column) (shortest vertebral column) (shortest backbone) (relatively speaking) would probably be a Human (Homo Sapien) or a Neanderthal (Homo Neanderthalensis), both Neanderthals and Humans have relatively large skulls as they are well encephalized. they also have a relatively short vertebral column, the most flexible and shortest backbone among all primates.
What visible color has the shortest wavelenght?
Violet has the shortest wavelength and red has the longest. Anything longer than red is not visible to the human eye. Violet has a wavelength of 0.0004 mm.

What wave length of light is the shortest?
Violet is actually the shortest wavelength, as you consider the color spectrum. After blue comes indigo, then violet. So blue is the third shortest. The color spectrum ranges from red to violet, with red being the longest. Naturally, violet would then be the shortest. Of course this goes for human visible wavelengths. Ultraviolet light is shorter in wavelength, but not human visible. Xrays have even shorter wavelengths, but they also are not human visible. Gamma rays are the shortest of all, but again not human visible.
