Answer:

Longer wavelengths self means by it's name that the distance between the trough and crust are lesser than that of shorter wavelengths!

The word Lower frequency implies lower energy, thus light cannot easily penetrate the EM wave to excite electrons.

Examples of EM waves with longer wavelength :

Radiowaves, microwaves, etc..
