Microwaves have a wavelength of 3 cm down to about 0.03 cm so the photons are much less energetic than infra-red, normal light, ultra-violet, x-rays etc.
Microwaves are used for communications and radar, and are classified as non-ionising radiation. They do not ionise molecules and their only biological effect is to heat tissue - if the intensity of the source is large enough. That happens in the danger zone in front of a radar transmitter, or in a microwave oven.

Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is nearest to radio waves?
Microwaves and, on the other side, ultra low frequency waves.
What do microwaves have in common with light waves?
both are electromagnetic waves
Which is more dangerous Visible waves or microwaves?
Microwaves. Tburn or cook from inside out.
What are microwaves light and radio waves examples of?
They are both electromagnetic waves.
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).
Are microwaves radio waves?
Yes and No All waves like that or electomagnetic waves that are the same thing but just operate on different frequencies and wavelengths But not microwaves are as much radio waves as they transmit heat signatures are well as slight audio signature Essentially no but they are very similar microwaves are just faster and at a different wavelengths
Do microwaves work with sound waves at all?
Microwaves and sound waves are similar because they are electromagnetic waves. The main difference between the two types of waves is the length of the wave. Sound waves are longer than microwaves.
What kind of waves are microwaves?
Electromagnetic waves, just like light, but with different frequency and wavelength.
Why is it easier to divert microwaves around an object then to divert light waves?
actually microwaves are easier to bend than light waves because microwaves are larger than light 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 part of the electromagnetic spectrum is nearest to radio waves?
Microwaves and, on the other side, ultra low frequency waves.
What type of waves are found after radio waves and before infrared waves?
Microwaves
What do microwaves have in common with light waves?
both are electromagnetic waves
What has bigger wave lengths microwaves gamma raysultraviolet wavesinfrared waves?
Microwaves
What are microwaves one type of?
frequency
Which is more dangerous Visible waves or microwaves?
Microwaves. Tburn or cook from inside out.
Do microwaves and ultraviolet are transverse waves?
no
