The microwave energy in a microwave oven is of a much lower frequency than light, but light is electromagnetic energy like the microwave radiation is.
Of course you can microwave a light bulb, the question is, is it really a smart thing to do.
No, when it is not in use, the microwave would not have a light on. Why would you want the light on when you are not using it and waste energy?
The type of energy conversion for a microwave is the transformation of electrical energy into light energy. This device works by focusing microwave light on the food inside of it.

1. Formation of gas (Bubbling) 2. Change in color 3. Generation of heat or light 4. Change in composition of reaction mixture
The purpose of the light in a microwave oven is to enable the user to observe the progress of the cooking, and to serve as another indication ... in addition to the sound of the fan ... of when the oven is energized. The light is only a convenience, and has no effect on the operation of the appliance.
light in a microwave, infrared light, and gamma rays.
This is a physical change. When the electrons go through the filament (or gas), there is no chemical change, only the physical change of temperature. The electricity to power the light may be generated chemically (fossil fuels or batteries) or from a hydroelectric plant. The light from "glow sticks" is an example of light generated by chemical changes.

Well, a flashlight omits ultraviolet rays. A microwave omits microwave ray and visible light with any source of light
Telephone The telephone was invented in 1876.The light bulb was invented in 1879. The microwave was invented in 1945.
