The section we call 'radio'.

Of course, there's no end to the electromagnetic spectrum, at least not on the

low-frequency end, so there's really no such thing as "greatest" wavelength.

As frequencies go down past radio and below, wavelength just keeps getting

longer ... the bit of radiation from the 60 Hz utility power lines has a wavelength

of almost 5,000 kilometers ( ! ! ). But we don't use anything down there in the

form of radiation ... antennas would need to be gigantic in order to be the least

bit efficient ... so there's no popular name for the radiated form.

The 'generic' answer to the question is: The type with the lowest frequency.
