Short wavelengths are typically associated with high-energy light, such as gamma rays, X-rays, and ultraviolet light. These types of light have more frequent oscillations and carry more energy per photon compared to longer wavelengths.
Ultraviolet rays have short wavelengths compared to visible light, ranging from about 10 to 400 nanometers.
No, blue light actually has short wavelengths compared to other colors in the visible light spectrum. This short wavelength is why blue light is often associated with effects like glare and eye strain.
The bands of the electromagnetic spectrum from short to long wavelengths are: gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared light, microwaves, and radio waves.
The wavelengths for UV light are shorter than for visible light, but much longer than for x-rays or gamma rays.
Light waves with shorter wavelengths bend more compared to light waves with longer wavelengths when passing through a medium due to the phenomenon of dispersion. This is why we see rainbows, where shorter wavelengths (violet/blue) are bent more than longer wavelengths (red) when passing through water droplets.

A type of sunlight with wavelengths too short to be seen is called Ultraviolet. Oh and your looking this up for a science word search the back has the answers

The answer depends on "compared to what"? UV wavelengths are shorter than x-rays and longer than microwaves.
The electromagnetic spectrum arranges light by wavelengths. It includes a range of electromagnetic waves, from gamma rays with the shortest wavelengths to radio waves with the longest wavelengths. Each type of light within the spectrum has its own unique wavelength and properties.
Shorter wavelengths correspond to higher energy light, such as ultraviolet and gamma rays, while longer wavelengths correspond to lower energy light, such as radio waves and infrared.
This is the ultraviolet light.
Shorter wavelengths, like gamma rays and X-rays, require more energy to produce than longer wavelengths like visual light.
