20 million 1-nanometer objects, arranged end-to-end,
would form a line 2 centimeters long.
Longitudinal waves are waves that have vibrations along or parallel to their direction of travel. Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves, waves in a slink, tsunami waves, vibrations in gases, oscillations in springs, internal-water waves, ultra sounds, earthquake P-waves.
Refracting is the phenomena that takes place when sound waves are reflected from a surface along parallel lines. During this phenomena the phase velocity of the wave changes but the frequency of the wave stays the same.
Usually, no. The wavelength of visible light is usually measured in nanometers. Only larger forms of electromagnetic radiation, like radio waves, are measured in meters.
Sound is manifested as a compression wave in a medium. the energy compresses and rarefies the medium transferring the energy to another location (and getting dissipated along the way).
P waves are the least damaging and only travel left and right, forward and backward along the horizontal plane. S waves are the most dangerous because they cause up and down motion and travel along the surface and solids of a medium causing the most destructive force. However they do not travel as far as P-waves. This is why earthquakes across the planet are felt on the other side. AKA Japan earthquake felt in USA. This is due to the P-waves. http://www.revisionworld.com/files/seismic%20copy.jpg Answer by Mathew Cutshall.
Infrared waves have longer wavelengths than ultraviolet waves. Infrared waves range from about 700 nanometers to 1 millimeter, while ultraviolet waves range from about 10 nanometers to 400 nanometers.
Ultraviolet light waves typically have wavelengths ranging from 10 nanometers to 400 nanometers. These waves are shorter in length and higher in energy compared to visible light waves.
Short answer: Very short More precise answer: 10 nanometers to 400 nanometers for one full wave (depending on how 'ultra' it is)
Wavelength of infra red would be greater than that of ultra violet waves.
Yes. They have a wavelength of just below 400 nanometers.

700 nanometers to 1 mm
No, infrared waves have longer wavelengths than visible light waves. Infrared waves have wavelengths ranging from about 700 nanometers to 1 millimeter, while visible light waves have wavelengths ranging from about 380 to 750 nanometers.
The wave of UV is shorter then visible light but longer then x-ray waves. It ranges between 400nm and 10nm.
Radio waves and ultraviolet waves are the same physical phenomenon.The difference is that radio waves have a much greater wavelength.(That's equivalent to saying that they have a much lower frequency.)
X-rays have the shortest waves in the electromagnetic spectrum. They have wavelengths ranging from 0.01 to 10 nanometers.
