Answer:

Microwaves and radio waves

Step-by-step explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the classification of the electromagnetic waves according to their wavelength.

From shortest to longest wavelength, they are classified as follows:

Gamma rays < 6 pm

X-rays 6 pm - 10 nm

Ultraviolet 10 nm - 380 nm

Visible light 380 nm - 750 nm

Infrared radiation
750 nm - 5 \mu m

Microwaves
5 \mu m -0.3 m

Radio waves > 0.3 m

From the list, we see that infrared rays have shorter wavelength than microwaves and radiowaves.
