Short wavelength waves bend less than long wavelength waves when they pass through a medium because they have higher frequencies and shorter distances between wave crests. This phenomenon is known as refraction.
No, the amount by which light bends depends on its wavelength and the medium it is passing through. In general, red light bends less than blue light when passing through transparent materials, because red light has a longer wavelength.
The speed is usually more or less independent of the wavelength. It really depends on the exact nature of the wave; in the case of an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum, the speed is completely independent of the wavelength - all such waves move at the same speed, the so-called "speed of light".
If you move your hand up and down less often, the wavelength of the waves on the rope will increase. This is because the frequency of the waves is determined by how often you move your hand, and since speed is constant, a decrease in frequency leads to an increase in wavelength.
Distance between two waves is known as wavelength. Out of all electromagnetic spectrum, radio waves have the longest wavelength and gamma rays have the shortest wavelength. Waves that have less wavelength are highly energetic.
The wavelengths of radio waves are much longer than the wavelength of microwaves, therefore radio waves carry much less energy than a microwave.

Radio waves will disturb matter which is more or less on the order of magnitude of the wavelength of the waves.

If it is a mechanical wave, then the lower amplitude waves would have less energy. If you are talking about electromagnetic waves, then higher frequency waves (shorter wavelength) have more energy, and lower frequency waves have less energy.
Remember that wavelength x frequency = speed of the wave.If you increase the wavelength, the frequency will decrease - since the speed of most waves is more or less independent of the frequency or wavelength.
The wavelength is greater than 300E6/300E9 = 1 mm and the frequency is less than about 300 Gigacycles.
is a system of equipment used for microwave data transmission.
Low frequency and less energetic.
The wavelengths of radio waves are much longer than the wavelength of microwaves, therefore radio waves carry much less energy than a microwave.
There is no longest wavelength. In the electromagnetic spectrum extremely low frequency waves can have wavelengths of less than 100 megametres (100,000 kilometres or 10^8 metres). Gravitational waves are likely to have much longer wavelengths.
