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.
How does the wavelength of the waves used in microwaves ovens compare with the wavelength of waves used for radar?
Inches (microwave) vs. Feet (Radar).
What is the average wavelength of the microwave?
The average wavelength of microwaves is typically around 12.2 centimeters, which corresponds to a frequency of 2.45 GHz. These wavelengths are commonly used in household microwave ovens for cooking food.

What does microwave stands for?
Microwaves are wavelengths of light that are shorter than radio waves, but longer than infrared light waves. The wavelength range is 1 meter to 1mm. One particular wavelength is optimum for being absorbed by water, and this is what "microwave ovens" are tuned to produce. This is 2.45 GHz, which is about 12.2cm wavelength.
Microwave ovens emit microwave energy with a wavelength of 12.0 cm What is the energy of exactly one photon of this microwave radiation?
A photon of this wavelength has an energy of about 10 ^ -5 eV.
How do AM radio and television wavelengths compare with radar?
AM radio, FM radio, television, cellphones, GPS, and microwave ovens all use radio waves that are longer than the ones used for RADAR.
What waves do microwave ovens use?
Microwave ovens cook with several hundred watts of radio waves at a frequency at or near 2.450 GHz (2,450 MHz) / wavelength = 12 cm.
What frequency range does a microwave oven operate at?
Microwave ovens operate at 2.45G. http://www.howstuffworks.com/microwave.htm
Which uses less energy conventional ovens or microwave ovens?
Microwave Ovens
Do Radio waves run microwave ovens?
Scientists group electromagnetic waves into categories according to their wavelength. Technically a radio wave has a longer wavelength then a microwave but that's the only fundamental difference. They are both electromagnetic waves.
