Practically: no.
Infinite wavelength would mean zero frequency, and zero energy. So there is nothing left -- it is black body radiation at absolute zero.
Zero wavelength would mean infinite frequency and infinite energy; there is not enough power in the universe to do that.

We have the equation
c=lambda*f
c
=velocity of propagation
=299,792,458 met/sec
lambda= wave length m
f=frequency 1/sec
We observe velocity is a finite quantity.
If wave length is zero or infinite we
cannot obtain a finite value for velocity.
Hence wave length can never equal
zero or be infinite.

no.
wave of zero wavelength means infinite energy. of infinite means 0 energy.

no it is not possible of a photon to have zero or Infinite wave length , mathematically Energy is proportional to frequency and we can not have infinite or zero frequency resp

no its not,its an an impossibility.........BUT
but theoretically you can imagine an em wave having enrgy close to zero and close to infinity...
i mean very low and very high energy radiation.....
indeedn they exist .thats y we have radiowaves and gamma radiations
and modern neurological studies are after these unknown frequency findings....i think........[somewhere i heard .not sure]

No.
Such entities are not waves.

no...they cant...einstein was of view that there is no such thing as infinity...
