Not even close. Microwaves are much longer, with a lower frequency, than light is.

The shortest 'microwave' is in the neighborhood of 1 millimeter long (300 GHz).

That's about 1,540 times as long as the longest visible wave (red, 650 nm)).

Infrared radiation is not visible. Its wavelength is longer than red.


Are uv and infra red light visible?

"UV" (ultra-violet) is radiation with shorter wavelength/higher frequency than visible. Infrared is radiation with longer wavelength/lower frequency than visible.


What are all the radiations?

Radiation is photon or light. We give name for radiation by its' range of wavelength. Those with wavelength < 0.001 nm is called gamma ray, those below gamma to just about 0.1 nm is x-ray and those below x-ray are UV and visible light. Our visible light is light with wavelength 400-700 nm below that are infrered, microwave and radiowave.
