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.
There is a simple answer and a complicated answer. The simple anser is, "Neither", the complicated answer is , "It depends."
The wavelength of infrared light is too long for humans to see.
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.
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.
If the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is too long, it may not interact efficiently with objects or materials that are small compared to its wavelength. If the wavelength is too short, it may not penetrate materials or be easily absorbed by certain substances. This can affect the transmission and reception of the wave in different mediums.
Short wavelength
Short wavelengths.
There is a simple answer and a complicated answer. The simple anser is, "Neither", the complicated answer is , "It depends."
Scattering of light
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.

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.

The wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation extend from any long wavelength, withno upper limit no matter how long, continuously through all possible wavelengths, withno gaps, down to any short wavelength, with no lower limit no matter how short.
