Hi!
Microwave frequency is the top end of the radio wave frequencies.
The radio wave frequency is part of the electromagnetic spectrum (EM spectrum) - and there the frequencies carry on up to infra red ... blue light ... etc.

∙ 11y agoMicrowaves ARE radio waves.
The frequency allocated for microwave ovens is 2,450 MHz.
-- That frequency is higher than any AM, FM, shortwave, or ham radio, TV, GPS,
iphone, wireless card or router, Bluetooth, garage door opener, cordless phone,
or any other radio device you have inside your house or car.
-- It's lower frequency than what the little home satellite TV dishes receive.
-- It's also lower frequency than police speed radar and weather radar.
-- It's also lower frequency than all the microwave radio used to tie cellular towers
together, and all the intercity microwave communication systems ... all those large
dishes you see on high towers when you drive out in the country.

Do satellites normally use microwaves or radio waves?
Microwaves are radio waves.Most satellites communicate in microwave radio frequency bands.
Why frequency of microwaves is longer than radio waves?
Microwaves are radio waves. That name is given to radio waves atfrequencies above 3 GHz (wavelength less than 10 centimeters).
Which type of radio waves have highest frequency and are used in radar detection?
microwaves
How are radio waves xrays microwaves and the suns rays different?
Radio waves ... including microwaves ... and X-rays are different only in wavelength (frequency). The sun radiates all of them.
What are the differences between radio waves and micro waves?
There is no difference. Microwaves are radio waveswith any frequency above 3 GHz.
Are microwaves a type of radio wave?
Microwaves are a frequency of electromagnetic radiation. It has a higher frequency than radio waves, but has a lower frequency than infrared light.
Which has higher frequency microwaves or tv waves?
In the entire spectrum of electromagnetic waves, microwaves and radiowaves (microwaves are sometimes classified under radio waves), have the longest wavelengths, and the lowest frequencies (and therefore, energy).
Microwaves are the radio waves with the frequency and energy?
highest
Which has a higher frequency gamma rays or radio rays?
Gamma rays have a much higher frequency then radio waves.
What is a low frequency wave?
Radio waves are the lowest frequency waves. Next are microwaves, then infra-red waves.
On the electromagnetic spectrum microwaves are located between infrared waves and radio waves. Which is true for microwaves?
That means that both the frequency and the wavelength of microwaves are also between those of infrared and radio 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.
Do satellites normally use microwaves or radio waves?
Microwaves are radio waves.Most satellites communicate in microwave radio frequency bands.
Why frequency of microwaves is longer than radio waves?
Microwaves are radio waves. That name is given to radio waves atfrequencies above 3 GHz (wavelength less than 10 centimeters).
Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is nearest to radio waves?
Microwaves and, on the other side, ultra low frequency waves.
How are microwaves different from radio waves?
"Microwave" is the loose term used to describe the higher-frequency portion of the general category of radio waves. The closest thing to a formal definition says that "microwave" is anything with a frequency higher than 3 GHz (wavelength less than 10 centimeters).
What is the radiation source for microwaves waves?
Microwave frequency radio waves are usually produced by a MAGNETRON.
