the answer is long wave length because long wave lengths contians less energy, and would not harm living things such as plants and animals. the more engey a wave length has, the less harmful it is.

short wave length: lots of energy, extremely hot. (examples: gamma rays, and UV (ultraviolet) rays.

long wave lengths: not much energy, safe for humans and other life on Earth.

hopefully this helps.
