I'm sorry but there's no standard rule. Some microwaves incorporate heat shields on the bottom to block against the rising heat from a cooking surface and these types can hang lower than models that don't have a heat shield. Once you've narrowed down to a couple of options, check the specific microwave's specs. These are downloaded at the microwave's website.

What does the distance have to be between the stove top and an over the range microwave?
I've read on GE installation manuals (at GE.com) that the space should be a minimum of 30 inches from the cooktop surface to the bottom of the cabinet touching the top of the microwave.
My cabinets are 40", approximately how far down will the microwave hang Is there a required amount of space that should be between the range top and the bottom of the microwave?
The microwave itself it 16-7/16" tall; it should hang about this much below where you mount it. It is recommended that there be at least 30" of clearance between a range top and at a microwave

What is the frequency range of a microwave?
The "microwave" range of radio waves is defined as frequencies between 3 - 300 GHz. But the question says " a " microwave, so we suspect it's talking about the box you use to heat the leftover meat loaf. The microwave oven operates in the Industrial/Scientific/Medical frequency band, at or near 2,450 MHz. (So, technically, it isn't a 'microwave' at all, since that frequency is below the range defined as 'microwave'. Guess it should be called a "UHF Oven".)

Does the Whirlpool over the range microwave need to be vented outside to work properly?
No, but most can be vented upwards or rearwards. The location of the microwave has a lot to do with venting. Ideally, you want to vent odors and moisture outside. Structure and asthetics also have to do with location of the vent.
What features should I consider when buying a microwave oven?
You will want to consider the size of the area you have on your counter top to place the microwave on or the area where you will be inserting it below a cabinet or above a range. You also want to consider the power level and what controls are on the microwave. Another feature to consider would be if it has a rotating feature inside which some people prefer for more even cooking. You might also consider the possibility of the added feature of it being a convection oven as well as a microwave.
