Are microwaves visible to humans?
No, microwaves aren't visible to humans. Microwaves are electromagnetic energy, and the only electromagnetic energy humans can see is that of visible light.
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.
Are microwaves a form of light?
There is no good answer. Energy per wave goes up as frequency. But you can get cooked by light, and microwaves can warm you pleasantly, or not affect you at all.
Which waves are shorter than microwaves and longer than visible light?
Infrared Light has a longer wavelength than visible and a shorter wavelength than microwaves.
Which photons have greater energy those associated with microwaves or those asociated with visible light?
Visible light
What are some forms of radiation?
Visible light, radio, television and microwaves.
Do radio waves microwaves and waves all have longer wavelengths than visible light?
Radio and microwaves are longer than visible light. So are heat (infrared) waves. Ultraviolet waves are shorter than visible light. So are X-rays and gamma rays.
What are the 4 em waves originated from space?
microwaves, ultraviolet light, infrared, visible light
The different parts of the electromagnetic specturm?
Electromagnetic spectrum have Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible light,Ultraviolet light, X-ray, and Gamma rays are the answer to your question.
Do radio waves microwaves and ultraviolet waves all have longer wavelength than visible light?
Radio and microwaves are longer than visible light. So are heat (infrared) waves. Ultraviolet waves are shorter than visible light. So are X-rays and gamma rays.
How does the speed of microwaves compare to the speed of visible light when measured in a vacuum?
They are equal.
What type of wave transports visible light?
Visible Light is an electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic waves often are called different things depending on the wavelength of the wave. Examples are Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared, Visible light, Ultraviolet, X-rays, Gamma Rays.
