'Microwave' is not a scientific term, and encompasses a wide range of frequencies. Wikipedia speaks of a range between 0.3 and 300GHz, resulting in a wavelength between one meter and one millimeter.
Other interpretations of the colloquial term 'microwave' might exist.

Microwaves are produced by?
Microwaves are produced when?
How do microwaves give off radiation?
Microwaves do not 'give off' radiation as such. Microwaves are radiation.
Is ultraviolet the shortest wavelength?
No. If the shortest wavelength is on the left end of the spectrum, the shortest wavelength is microwaves. if the shortest wavelength is on the right end of the spectrum, the shortest wavelength is gamma rays. I think it is microwaves because micro means small.
Are microwaves matter?
no, because microwaves do not take up space
What do microwaves travel though?
the microwaves travel though the heat
What washes up on small beaches?
Microwaves
My cat senses microwaves from my mobile phone has anybody noticed the same?
no, the amount of microwaves is to small for anybody to realize
What are the advantages of small microwaves?
Some advantages to owning a small microwave are: They are cheaper than regular microwaves, they take up less space, will require less electricity to function.
Why microwaves do not come out through the small holes in the door of a microwave oven?
The dimensions of the holes are less than half the wavelength of the microwaves. Most microwaves operate at 2.5 GHz making the wavelength about 1cm. Half of that is 0.5 cm. Any hole small than this will not allow the wave to pass through.
Why is the prefix micro used to describe microwaves?
they use it to describe microwaves because the microwave gives off very small waves of light and/or heat to make what ever you have in it hot.
Do small microwaves cost less to operate than large microwaves?
Small microwaves use fewer watts of energy to heat food, but there may be a trade off with requiring a slightly longer cooking time. Any net gain is unlikely to be noticeable on your monthly energy bill. When you choose a microwave, you should select it based on the available kitchen space you have for it.

What are the benefits of a small microwave versus a larger one?
Less power usage and less counter space take up. Small microwaves are great for small families or single people
How do microwaves give off radiation?
Microwaves do not 'give off' radiation as such. Microwaves are radiation.
Why did microwaves sell well in Japan?
Japanese cooking required reheating, and since most Japanese houses and kitchens were small, microwave ovens were the perfect space savers. Japan exported microwaves to the United States in the 1970s
