nb
Microwave ovens employ microwave radiation, which is lower in frequency than infrared radiation, to generate the heat in the food they cook. They don't use infrared radiation per se.
infrared imagery
Microwave (portion of EM Spectrum lying between radio wave and infrared wave).
Infrared lies between the visible and microwave portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared waves that are near to visible light do not generate heat and are used in TV remote controls. Infrared waves that are far from the visible end of the light spectrum are thermal and generate heat. The infrared heat from the sun, a lamp or a radiator is a type of far infrared radiation.
Ultraviolet and the infrared.

a microwave requires a much higher frequency

== == Infrared light lies between the visible and microwave portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared light has a range of wavelengths, just like visible light has wavelengths that range from red light to violet. "Near infrared" light is closest in wavelength to visible light and "far infrared" is closer to the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The longer, far infrared wavelengths are about the size of a pin head and the shorter, near infrared ones are the size of cells, or are microscopic.

A short-wavelength radio wave. An electromagnetic wave that is somewhere in between regular radio waves and infrared radiation.

An infrared transceiver is sometimes called a radio wave. Another term for infrared transceiver is also a microwave oven. Microwave towers are used for cell phone use. Microwaves ovens in the kitchen help to heat food.
The frequency/wavelength of the electromagnetic waves that comprise them is.
