How does the wavelength of waves used in microwave ovens compare with the wavelength of waves used for radar?
Roughly within an order of magnitude or so, either way.
Why were the first microwave ovens sometimes referred to as radar ranges?
because microwaves both and radar systems both use microwaves
How does the wavelength of waves used in the microwave ovens compare with the wavelength of waves used for radar?
The wavelength used in the microwave oven is about 12 centimeters. (rounded) In the early days, there were radar systems that used wavelengths longer than that, but there haven't been any for several decades now.
What electromagnetic wave has a wavelength greater than that of light?
Radio, microwaves, radar, and infrared radiation have.
How do microwaves affect your body?
It depends on the wavelength, and the intensity. Most microwaves pass through us with no issues. Microwaves used for heating water will heat our tissues, causing damage / death. Microwaves used in older radar guns caused bone cancer when the patrolmen using those guns layed them on their legs between reading vehicle speeds.

What are some examples of MicroWaves?
Two Examples of Microwaves are Microwave Ovens and RADAR (Radio Detection And Ranging).

What type of wave is used for radar?
It is microwaves that are used for radar. They are high frequency, short wavelength electromagnetic waves, and a number of different frequency ranges of these microwaves are used depending on the application. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on radar and the different bands or ranges of frequencies that are used and their applications.

Which has the longer wavelength radar or light?
Radar has the longer wavelength.
Which of the following is true of microwaves?
microwaves are used in radar
