Yes but has shorter wavelength than radiowaves.
Bluetooth, WiFi, and remote-lock car keys do that.
They are the same thing; vibrations of the electromagnetic field. Microwaves have a frequency between 0.3 GHz to 300 GHz, and radio waves have a frequency between 3 Hz to 300 GHz. So microwaves are a type of radio wave.
microwaves :)
Short wave frequency has a shorter wave length. Frequency is defined as number of cycles per second. If you have shorter waves (measure from peak to peak) you can get more of these packed into one second, so the frequency is higher.
Radio communication typically uses electromagnetic waves in the radio frequency range, specifically in the Very High Frequency (VHF) and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) bands. These waves have wavelengths that are suitable for transmitting signals over long distances and are commonly used for broadcasting, two-way radio communication, and cellular communications.
Microwaves are radio waves of very high frequency/ very short wavelength. The exact boundary is not well defined, but frequencies over about one gigahertz (1 000 000 000 Hz) are generally considered "microwave". This boundary, as a wavelength, is anything shorter than about 30 cm. The top end is also loosely defined, as extremely short "radio" waves eventually become infra-red radiation. "Microwaves" extend around 100 gigahertz in frequency, equal to one millimetre (1/10th of a centimetre) in wavelength. The region between microwaves and infra-red is commonly known as "millimetre/millimetric" waves.
Well, I assume you are talking about waves, am I correct? Frequency is the distance between the crest and the trough of a wave. Gamma rays are the waves of highest frequency that we know of. Ultraviolet possesses a frequency just above the frequency of visible light (remember ROYGBIV). Descend in frequency beneath red and you'll come to infrared. While snakes can detect this (I am not yet sure how) the human eye cannot detect anything of this low frequency although we often use this in modern technology (note nightvision goggles). The higher the frequency, the smaller the wavelength and vice versa. Radio waves have an extremely short frequency and an extremely long wavelength.
No, Computers transmit microwaves and radio waves are entirley different on the electro magnetic spectrum
Electromagnetic waves are commonly used to carry signals in telecommunications, such as radio waves, microwaves, and light waves. These waves can travel long distances and carry information encoded in their frequency, amplitude, or phase.
Shortwave refers to radio frequencies ranging from 1.6 MHz to 30 MHz, used for long-distance communication. Microwaves have higher frequencies (1 GHz to 300 GHz) and are used for various applications such as telecommunications, cooking, and radar systems. Both shortwave and microwaves are forms of electromagnetic radiation, but they differ in frequency range and applications.
The rays of the electromagnetic spectrum from shortest to longest wavelength are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared rays, optical rays, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma-rays.EDIT: He has these backwards, the shortest wavelength is created by Gamma-Rays and the longest is Radiowaves.Remember- high energy = short wavelength.
Microwaves. actually these are Microwave frequencies rather than Short Wave in, say the amateur radio sense.
