There is no longest wave-length for light. It can be infinitely long (just as light waves
could be infinitely short).
The longest visible light that humans can see is about 750 nanometers long, which is
0.00075 of a millimeter. This color would be a shade of red. Some other animals and
insects can see slightly longer wavelengths, and many can not even see what we can.

What is the primary function of the clear glass of the greenhouse?
the glass allows short wave lengths of radiation to enter, but reduces the amount of long-wave length radiation that escapes
In a light wave what properties tell you the color of the light?
Just ONE property, the wavelength of the light. The colour of visible light depends on its wavelength. These wavelengths range from 700 nm at the red end of the spectrum to 400 nm at the violet end.
What happens to the frequency and wave lengths as waves enter shallow water?
describes the effect of water waves passing into shallow water?
What happens to the wave and the color of the wave when you increase or decrease amplitude?
You seem to be talking about a light wave. If you increase the amplitude the light gets brighter, and if you decrease it gets dimmer. Amplitude has no effect on colour.
What properties of a light wave determine its color?
Frequency or wave length.The relation between frequency f and wave length lof a light waveis given by; f = c/l, where c is light's speed.
What color shines the brightest through fog?
yellow colour shines the brightest through the fog, as it is a fog absorbing colour..
Which color of aurora gives off higher energy light green or red?
Red, it is the color with the longest wave lengths and lowest frequencies. While violet has the shortest wave lengths and the highest frequencies. ( Goes on from red, left to right, when talking about the rainbow!) Hope this helped! Resources: ThinkCentral ( online text book )
What color has the longest wave length?
Red.
What are electromagnetic waves with the longest wave lengths and the electromagnetic waves with the shortest wave lengths?
The longest wavelength corresponds to long wave radio, I think the longest used is about 2000 meters. The shortest are gamma rays, which occur in radioactivity, these are from about 10-11 meters down.
What is the longest wave?
Wavelength is the distance between one wave crest to the next. Commonly, in the electromagnetic wave spectrum, we think of radio waves as having the longest wavelength, but the longest electromagnetic (EM) waves are ultra low frequency (ULF) waves. These waves are sometimes, but not routinely, associated with radio wave lengths, although they are at the same end of the spectrum. There is some consensus that the longest ULF wave is in the approximate range of 106 to 1011m. However, waves with lengths approaching infinity have not been ruled out.
The color with the longest wave?
I just checked and it's red
Which color of light in the visible spectrum has the longest wave length?
Red ... ;)
Why does the color of things change when they are hot?
as a surface heats up the wave lengths of energy emitted by the surface shorten. If the surface gets hot enough the wave lengths generated will reach the visible spectrum starting at the longer wave lengths eg red and as the surface gets even hotter the wave lengths shorten even more heading towards the white and blue end of the visible spectrum.
What color is the longest wave of light?
The visible light with the longest wavelength is the last coloryou can see on the red end of the spectrum.
What is the color of visible light that has the longest wave length?
That's the last color you can see on the red end of the spectrum.
Why do different colors absorb different amounts of heat energy?
when a substance appears of a particular color, it is actually absorbing all the wave lengths of the light spectrum falling on it and reflecting only one wave length peculiar to that color. So, different colors absorb different wave lengths and hence, different amounts of heat energy.
Which portion of the visible spectrum has the longest wave length?
the last color you can see at the red end
