for wavelength, the longer of the two is visible light, but the longest type of rays are radio waves (some of them have a wavelength as long as a football field)
"Radar" comes from RAdio Detection And Ranging. If it didn't use radio it would be called something else.LIDAR (LIght Detection And Ranging) is laser instead of radio. That uses light.
The radio wave part of the spectrum is very wide. The extreme ends are, roughly,15km ( used for communicating with submerged submarines)1 mm ( used for research, and possibly for radar)The visible spectrum covers only a 2:1 range of wavelengths. It is centred on the colour yellow, with a wavelength ~= 700nm.The very shortest of the radio waves is about 1000 times as long as yellow light.

It is not a requirement to show RADAR readings in Illinois.
The electromagnetic spectrum consists of radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. These waves have differing wavelengths and frequencies, with radio waves having the longest wavelength and gamma rays the shortest.
Radar waves typically have longer wavelengths than visible light. Radar waves can have wavelengths ranging from a few millimeters to several meters, while visible light wavelengths range from about 400 to 700 nanometers.
Radar waves have a lower frequency that light waves.The frequency of a light wave is related to wavelength and speed by the equation c = »½. The color of a light wave is also determined by the frequency. The amplitude and brightness are not related to the frequency.
No, the visible light spectrum falls between infrared and ultraviolet light on the electromagnetic spectrum. Radar waves have longer wavelengths than visible light, while X-rays have shorter wavelengths.

Transverse waves
Yes. The visible spectrum of light is much shorter than the shortest radar (radio) wave.

The Valentine One Radar Detector has the longest effective range. The Valentine brand offers radar detectors with the best range.
Radio waves, RADAR, microwaves, visible light, UV rays, and X-rays.
We primarily use the visible light and radio waves parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Visible light is essential for imaging and observation, while radio waves are widely used for communication and radar applications.
