Who invented electromagnetic waves?

Heirich Hertz. Maxwell theorized that light and electricity were the same based on the speed of electric waves and light waves. Hertz actually created the electromagnetic waves and demonstrated their light like behavior. This demonstration confirmed Maxwell's prediction.


What electromagnetic waves have a wavelength shorter that a single water molecule?

Your comparison attempt is confusing. Water molecules don't have 'waves' by themselves. The ocean has waves, H2O does not. We use the behavior of ocean and sound waves to determine the behavior and makeup of light waves. Humans can only see a portion of the existing electromagnetic spectrum. X-rays and Gamma rays have the shortest wavelengths. Radio waves have the longest.
