Is red shortest wavelength?

Yes. The longest visible wavelength / lowest visible frequency is the last color you see on the red end of the 'rainbow'. The shortest visible wavelength / highest visible frequency is the last color you see on the violet end of the 'rainbow'. These limits are not exactly the same for every human eye.


How heat energy transferred by radiation?

Heat is transferred through air and space as electromagnetic radiation. A daily example is the infrared (the heat lamp), whose spectrum is just about or below the visible light frequencies, and infrared radiation can be thought of as traveling but invisible photons (light is a form of electromagnetic radiation) of low energies. In general, all objects emit thermal radiation through oscillation of charge particles in matters, even when the objects are near zero degree Kelvin.


What type of wave is an ultraviolet wave?

An invisible Electromagnetic radiation (also called solar radiation) whose wavelength is shorter than visible light but greater than X-rays (i.e in ORDER of 10-8 m) is called ultraviolet wave.


Is diffraction the tightening of waves?

No.Diffraction is the change in the direction and intensity of a group of waves after passing an obstacle or passing through an aperture whose size is comparable to the wavelength of the waves.It can be observed in mechanical waves, electromagnetic waves as well as in matter waves.When a beam of light falls on the edge of an object, it bends slightly due to the contact and causes a blur at the edge of the shadow of the object. Waves of longer wavelengths are diffracted more than those of shorter wavelengths.
