Best Answer

Microwaves have an approximate length of 10 to the 8th power nano meters.

This means that they have an incredibly long wavelength.

Since wave length and energy are inversely related, that means the wavelength is long which makes the energy low.

10 to the 8th power of nano meters is just a confusing way to say 20 meters

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.


Which waves are shorter than microwaves and longer than visible light?

Infrared Light has a longer wavelength than visible and a shorter wavelength than microwaves.


What is true about microwaves?

they have a longer wavelength than radio waves.

Microwaves


Which has higher frequency microwaves or tv waves?

In the entire spectrum of electromagnetic waves, microwaves and radiowaves (microwaves are sometimes classified under radio waves), have the longest wavelengths, and the lowest frequencies (and therefore, energy).


What kind of waves are microwaves?

Electromagnetic waves, just like light, but with different frequency and wavelength.


What is the wavelength of microwaves of 3.0 x 109 Hz frequency?

10 centimeters


What wavelength signal has a frequency of 0.6 Ghz?

Electromagnetic radiation with a frequency of 0.6GHz is ultra-high frequency Microwaves. It has a wavelength of 50cm.


How does the wavelength of the waves used in microwaves ovens compare with the wavelength of waves used for radar?

Inches (microwave) vs. Feet (Radar).


On the electromagnetic spectrum microwaves are located between infrared waves and radio waves. Which is true for microwaves?

That means that both the frequency and the wavelength of microwaves are also between those of infrared and radio waves.


Does UV have a longer wavelength or visible light?

Infrared has a smaller wavelength than microwaves.


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.
