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 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.

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 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.


Which color has the largest wave length?
