Gamma rays have a much higher frequency than microwaves, even though microwaves have a longer wavelength than gamma rays.
All forms of electromagnetic radiation travel at the speed of light or 186,000 miles per second. So the increase in wavelength(microwaves) means they do not oscillate as fast(lower frequency) in order to reach 186,000 miles per second.

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.
What type of electromagnetic wave has a lower frequency than microwaves?
No. Both are examples of electromagnetic radiation. The only difference between them is their respective frequencies (wavelengths). Both travel at the speed that we call the "speed of light" . . . 300,000,000 meters (186,282 miles) per second.
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.
Do ultra violet waves have a higher or lower frequency than gamma rays?
lower
Does visible light have a higher frequency than gamma rays?
No, visible light has a lower frequency than gamma rays. Gamma rays are the highest frequency of electromagnetic energy. They are above X-rays.
Do gamma rays have a higher frequency than x rays?
Generally speaking, it is gamma rays that have a higher frequency (and energy) than X-rays. The upper end of the X-ray spectrum and the lower end of the gamma ray spectrum enjoy a bit of overlap, but the X-ray does not have a higher frequency than the gamma ray.
Does xrays have a lower frequency?
Compared to most forms of electromagnetic radiation, X-rays have a high frequency. Only gamma rays have a higher frequency.
Types of radio waves?
Both gamma rays and radio waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, but gamma rays are much higher frequency (shorter wavelength) than radio waves. Visible light is lower frequency than gamma and higher than radio.
Do X-rays have a higher or lower frequency than light waves?
Light waves and X-rays are both forms of electromagnetic energy. X-rays, however, have higher energy (higher frequency and shorter wavelength) than (visible) light.
Which band of the electromagnetic spectrum has a frequency lower than microwaves?
UHF (Ultra High Frequency)
Is microwaves are type of infrared wave?
Microwaves have a frequency range of about 300 MHz to about 300 GHz. Those frequencies are lower than infrared but higher than FM radio.No, they are usually considered separate ranges of the E.M. spectrum.
Is the frequency of infrared light higher than visible light?
No. X-Rays have a greater frequency than visible light. In order of increasing frequency(or decreasing wavelength). Radio waves, Microwaves, Infra-red radiation, Visible light, Ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, Gamma rays.
