The longest wavelengths visible to the average human being are in the range of ~700 nanometers which appears to be red to the human eye.

However, I am capable of perceiving the red light that my 2 Logitech cordless laser mice emit at 848 nanometers. I hope I am not damaging my eyesight, but I don't believe the emission spectrum for such a laser would be very wide, so I would bet that 800-820 nm is still in the visible range, at least for younger people. I am 22 years old.

the longest wavelengths of visible are red colored

For a human, the frequency of the visible light range is 380 to 750 nanometers. Most people are around this range; some may able to see colors slightly above or below this range.
