The longest wavelengths visible to the average human being are in the range of ~700 nanometers which appears to be red to the human eye.

However, I am capable of perceiving the red light that my 2 Logitech cordless laser mice emit at 848 nanometers. I hope I am not damaging my eyesight, but I don't believe the emission spectrum for such a laser would be very wide, so I would bet that 800-820 nm is still in the visible range, at least for younger people. I am 22 years old.

the longest wavelengths of visible are red colored

Wavelength of electrons are what percent visible in the white light?

The wavelength of electrons is about 10,000 times shorter than the wavelength of visible light. This means that electrons are not visible in white light as their wavelengths are outside the visible spectrum.
