What else can I help you with?
Can a microwave light a light bulb?
No, a microwave does not produce visible light that can be used to light a light bulb. Microwaves generate electromagnetic radiation in the microwave frequency range which is not visible to the human eye.
Which is longer a gamma wave a microwave a visible light or an x ray?
microwave
How does a convex lens work in a microwave?
The same as it does for visible light.
What type of rays can you make and how?
Well, a flashlight omits ultraviolet rays. A microwave omits microwave ray and visible light with any source of light
Is light energy used in a microwave oven?
The microwave energy in a microwave oven is of a much lower frequency than light, but light is electromagnetic energy like the microwave radiation is.
Are microwave ovens light rays longer or shorter than light rays you can see?
Microwave ovens use longer light rays than the visible light rays we can see. Microwave radiation has a longer wavelength, which allows it to penetrate and heat food without being visible to the human eye.
Are microwaves a form of visible light?
No, microwaves are not a form of visible light. They fall within the electromagnetic spectrum at lower frequencies than visible light. Microwaves are used in appliances like microwave ovens for cooking food.
Visible light and ultraviolet rays are forms of?
Visible light and ultraviolet rays are forms of electromagnetic radiation (EM). So are infrared, microwave and others.
What is Microwave infrared and visible light?
Microwave, infrared, and visible light are all forms of electromagnetic radiation. Microwave has longer wavelengths and lower frequencies, often used for communication and cooking. Infrared has shorter wavelengths than microwaves and is commonly used in night vision technology. Visible light is the range of wavelengths that the human eye can detect, making it essential for vision and various technologies.
Why use microwaves instead of visible light?
-- We have no technology that can generate visible light at power levels that are easy to generate in the microwave. -- Visible light won't warm up a leftover chunk of meatloaf. -- For telecom applications, microwaves sail right on through atmospheric conditions that scatter, diffuse, and absorb visible light. But your question doesn't mention what uses you're thinking of, and visible light certainly has its place. For example, microwave traffic lights at intersections would not work out too well. Neither would a microwave chandelier hanging over your dining-room table.
Does a microwave use light energy?
yes its does because when the microwave is on and the plate is rotating,the light is actually heating the food. It is not the visible light that does the heating, that is provided simply so you can see inside the oven. It is the microwaves that do the heating, by agitating molecules of water in the food. That's why you can't heat dry food in microwave oven. The microwaves are EM radiation like visible light, but a different wavelength.
Do microwave photons have more energy than photons of visible light?
A microwave signal at 50 GHz has waves that are 10,000 times as long as a visible signal at yellow (600 nm) has. Therefore the yellow photon carries 10,000 times as much energy as the 50 GHz photon does.
