No. If you take the light bulb out of the microwave oven, then
you can't tell by looking at it whether or not it's running.

Is visible light a form of electromagnetic radiation?
Yes. Radio waves, microwaves, visible light, and x rays are all examples of electromagnetic waves.
Which waves are shorter than microwaves and longer than visible light?
Infrared Light has a longer wavelength than visible and a shorter wavelength than microwaves.
Which photons have greater energy those associated with microwaves or those asociated with visible light?
Visible light
Why microwaves are dangerous for us and visible light is not?
The degree of interaction between water and microwaves is much greater than that between the former and visible light. As such, microwaves heat up water while visible light does not -- visible either goes though water or bounces off it. Since our bodies consist of a lot of water, microwaves hitting us would cause us to heat up fairly rapidly -- exactly like food in a microwave oven. Getting cooked in a microwave oven is a LOT more dangerous than being illuminated by a lot of visible light.
What type of electromagnetic signals are currently used to communicate through space?
Infrared light Microwaves Visible light
Are microwaves a form of light?
There is no good answer. Energy per wave goes up as frequency. But you can get cooked by light, and microwaves can warm you pleasantly, or not affect you at all.
Are microwaves visible to humans?
No, microwaves aren't visible to humans. Microwaves are electromagnetic energy, and the only electromagnetic energy humans can see is that of visible light.
Is visible light a form of electromagnetic radiation?
Yes. Radio waves, microwaves, visible light, and x rays are all examples of electromagnetic waves.
Which has higher frequencies microwaves or visible lights?
Visible light has shorter wavelengths than microwaves. Microwaves, which might be considered the highest energy radio waves, have a longer wavelength (and a lower frequency) than visible light.
Are microwaves are a form of visible light?
No. If you take the light bulb out of the microwave oven, then you can't tell by looking at it whether or not it's running.
Which waves are shorter than microwaves and longer than visible light?
Infrared Light has a longer wavelength than visible and a shorter wavelength than microwaves.
Which photons have greater energy those associated with microwaves or those asociated with visible light?
Visible light
What are some forms of radiation?
Visible light, radio, television and microwaves.
Do radio waves microwaves and waves all have longer wavelengths than visible light?
Radio and microwaves are longer than visible light. So are heat (infrared) waves. Ultraviolet waves are shorter than visible light. So are X-rays and gamma rays.
What are the 4 em waves originated from space?
microwaves, ultraviolet light, infrared, visible light
Do radio waves microwaves and ultraviolet waves all have longer wavelength than visible light?
Radio and microwaves are longer than visible light. So are heat (infrared) waves. Ultraviolet waves are shorter than visible light. So are X-rays and gamma rays.
How does the speed of microwaves compare to the speed of visible light when measured in a vacuum?
They are equal.
