How fast do microwaves travel at?
186'000 miles an hour or speed of light
What is the reasoning that microwaves can travel through empty space as well as through air and food?
Microwaves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and as such they do not require any physical presence to aid passage, unlike sound waves which do require a medium through which to travel.
Are microwave wave longitudinal or transverse?
Microwaves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and are transverse waves in that the displacement is perpendicular to the direction of travel.
Microwaves are produced by?
Microwaves are produced when?
Are microwaves a form of matter?
Microwaves are matter. Everything you can see, touch, smell, hear, or taste w/o the help of instuments are matter. Mcrowaves do emit a small of radioactive particles though, namely alpha. Alpha particles can't even pass through your clothes though and they won't harm you.
Do gamma rays have a higher or lower frequency than microwaves?
Gamma rays have a much higher frequency than microwaves, even though microwaves have a longer wavelength than gamma rays.All forms of electromagnetic radiation travel at the speed of light or 186,000 miles per second. So the increase in wavelength(microwaves) means they do not oscillate as fast(lower frequency) in order to reach 186,000 miles per second.
What also travels as a wave?
Light and sound travel in waves as do microwaves.
How fast do microwaves travel at?
186'000 miles an hour or speed of light
How do signals travel in space?
By use of electromagnetic waves, usually microwaves or radio waves.
What is the reasoning that microwaves can travel through empty space as well as through air and food?
Microwaves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and as such they do not require any physical presence to aid passage, unlike sound waves which do require a medium through which to travel.
Why do satellites use microwave frequencies?
Microwaves travel in a straight line making them easy to send and receive.
Do any microwaves use light to help cook?
Microwaves use radiation to cook food and radiation is a form of light. They do not use actual light bulbs to cook though.
If an electric current can travel though two paths which will it travel though?
Both
Do regular cordless phones use microwaves?
No they do not they use radio waves because they need to travel alot shorter distances.
Are microwave wave longitudinal or transverse?
Microwaves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and are transverse waves in that the displacement is perpendicular to the direction of travel.
Does sound travel in a wave?
yes sound travels in a wave known as the soundwave like many others(radiowaves,microwaves,and heatwaves)
What travels more quickly visible light or microwaves?
They are both forms of electromagnetic radiation and, in a vacuum, would travel at the same speed.
