"Microwaves" are radio waves ... those with wavelengths of 10 centimeters or less.
The wavelengths of the signals used for point-to-point microwave communication
are shorter than the wavelengths of the signals used to broadcast radio and TV to
household and automotive receivers, and also longer than the wavelength of the
signals to the GPS receiver in your car.
Microwaves are shorter than the wavelengths used to operate your cellphone.
The microwave range of frequencies (wavelengths) is used for the signals that bring
900 channels of satellite TV directly to the little dish on the corner of your house.
Here's an interesting factoid: Technically, the box in your kitchen that heats the
leftover meatloaf in 13 seconds is not a "microwave" oven. "Microwave" officially
refers to frequencies of 3 GHz and higher (wavelength 10 cm and less). The handy
kitchen appliance operates at the frequency assigned to it, which in the USA is
2.450 GHz (12.24 cm).

Which light has the longest wavelength and the shortest frequency?
The longest visible wavelength of light appears red. "Longest wavelength" is equivalent to 'lowest frequency'.
What is the longest wavelength on a electromagnetic spectrum?
The electromagnetic waves with the longest wavelength are called radio waves.
Longest wavelength in the spectrum of color?
The color red has the longest wavelength of all the colors in the light spectrum.
Which color light has a longer wavelength?
The colour of visible light with the longest wavelength is red (approximately 700 nanometres).
Which has longest wavelength?
radio waves
What is the longest wavelength photon?
There is no longest wavelength for photons. It can be arbitrarily long.

What color of visible light has the longest wavelength?
Red is the longest wavelength of visible light
Photons with lowest energy have the?
-- longest wavelength -- lowest frequency
What is the longest wavelength on a electromagnetic spectrum?
The electromagnetic waves with the longest wavelength are called radio waves.
Which of the colors of light has the longest wavelength?
The color red has the longest wavelength of any color.
Longest wavelength in the spectrum of color?

Which color light has a longer wavelength?
The colour of visible light with the longest wavelength is red (approximately 700 nanometres).
Which type of visible light has the longest wavelength?
The longest wavelength / lowest frequency visible light is the red end of the spectrum. The shortest wavelength / highest frequency visible light is the violet end of the spectrum.
