The electromagnetic waves (EMW) that are slightly "longer" than what humans can see is Infared while the EMWs that are shorter than what humans can see is UV.

Ultra-violet. We can only see a very small portion of the EM spectrum, approximately 400-700 nm, UV starts at ~400 nm.

It's a little hard to read your list from here, but radio, microwave, and infrared radiation

all have longer wavelengths than human eyes can detect.

What electromagnetic waves are invisible to humans?

Any of them that have wavelengths shorter than around 380 nm or longer than around 750 nm are. That includes the vast majority of the electromagnetic spectrum ... barely a single octave, out of more than 50 octaves that we can detect and measure.


Can any of the three forms of radiation be seen or felt by humans?

Humans are very sensitive to physical vibrations in material media in the frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 KHz, known as 'sound'.Humans are also very sensitive to electromagnetic energy with wavelengths between roughly 350 to 800 nanometers, known as 'light'.Human skin is also sensitive to electromagnetic radiation with somewhat longer wavelengths than visible light, known as 'infrared' radiation, or 'heat'.

Are X-rays or gamma rays longer?

Gamma ray bursts have the shortest wavelengths of any radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum. Therefore, x-rays have the longer wavelength.


What electromagnetic wave has a wavelength greater than that of light?

Radio, microwaves, radar, and infrared radiation have.


Radio waves microwaves and ultraviolet rays have longer wavelenghts then visible light?

Gamma rays and radio waves are both electromagnetic waves. Radio frequency waves are a lower frequency, so they have a longer wave length.


What is the difference between infrared ray and gamma rays?

The main difference between gamma rays and infrared rays is in their wavelengths. Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths while infrared rays have longer wavelengths. Gamma and infrared rays are types of electromagnetic radiation.


Is radio waves a form of radiation?

Yes, radio waves are electromagnetic waves.They are in the part of the spectrum with the longer wavelengths, longer than microwaves, and visible light waves.
