Both a wave with long wavelength and a wave with short wavelength can have a lot of energy, or little energy.Specifically in the case of electromagnetic waves, a short wavelength corresponds to high energy - but this is only the energy PER PHOTON. But note that each of such waves usually consists of a lot of photons.

Does ROY G. BIV list colors from long wavelength to short wavelength or short to long wavelength?

The color of visible light with the longest wavelength is red; the color with the shortest is violet. So "ROY G. BIV" lists the colors from long to short wavelength. Just to confuse you, we'll also mention that it lists them from lowest to highest frequency.


Is the wavelength of infrared light too long or short for humans to see?

The wavelength of infrared light is too long for humans to see.


Is it possible to draw a high frequency wave with long wavelength?

It depends on what you consider high frequency and long wavelength. However, as frequency increases, wavelength decreases and vice versa. In fact, frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength.


Is infrared light too long wavelength or too short wavelength to be seen?

I looked it up in my physics text book and it says that the wavelength is too long to be seen by the human eye.


Do short wavelength waves bend more or less than long wavelength waves?

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.
