What would the properties of an infinitely long wavelength of light be? And what about a wavelength of light that is infinitely short? What would that look like?

edit: light as in electromagnetic waves, not visible light. Sorry if it was not very clear

    So that would be the lower limit.

    Why would it be the limit? Couldn’t you keep stuffing more and more energy and get a bigger black hole? Also would such a blackhole move at the speed of light?

      I guess. But it wouldn’t be light with a wave length anymore. It would be a black hole.

      Also would such a blackhole move at the speed of light?

      That’s an interesting thought. I don’t think so. Once you get the black hole it should gain mass. But that’s really hitting the limit of my physics knowledge.
