It is reasonable to assume that moving charges create an electric field, which as it begins to move like a wave creates a magnetic field, which is typical in comparison to the electric field. These two combined create electromagnetic waves, which are the spectrum of radiation.
There are many different radiations which are not the same in their length of waves and frequency. As the spectrum progresses from radio waves, over microwaves, than IR, visible light, Uv, than X-rays to the last gamma rays.
They are all of the same spectrum which as it progresses, the lengths of waves are dropping while frequency rises, which means that radio waves which are first in the spectrum have greatest lengths of waves but the frequency lesser compared to any other radiation. As radio waves are first, light is around the middle and X are near the end, we can conclude from the previous assumptions that radio waves have greatest lengths of waves.
