10 centimeters or less If you mean "microwave oven", those operate at the frequency of 2.45 GHz, where the wavelength is 12.24 centimeters.
The wavelength of the radiation produced by a 2.70 GHz microwave is approximately 11.1 centimeters.
10 centimeters or less If you mean "microwave oven", those operate at the frequency of 2.45 GHz, where the wavelength is 12.24 centimeters.
Wavelength = (speed) divided by (frequency)= (3 x 108) / (3 x 109) = 0.1 meter = 10 centimeters
For any electromagnetic wave, the wavelength depends on the frequency, but the speed doesn't. They all have the same speed. It's 300 million meters per second, regardless of the frequency. The wavelength at 3 GHz is 10 centimeters.

Wavelength = (speed) divided by (frequency)= (3 x 108) / (3 x 109) = 0.1 meter = 10 centimeters
Wavelength = (speed of light) divided by (frequency) = (3 x 108) / (9.76 x 109) = 0.03074 meter

"Microwave" is an electromagnetic wave, and is part of the category of radio waves.A radio wave is "microwave" when its frequency is above 3 GHz (wavelength isless than 10 centimeters).Ironically, the "microwave oven" radiates the food with high power radio wavesat a frequency of 2.5 GHz, so technically, it doesn't use 'microwave' energy at all.
1 nanometer is the same as 0.0000001 centimeter. The emissions for the other elements that you're finding are in the range of visible light, compared to the 1428 MHz line of hydrogen that's in the low microwave. Their wavelengths are much much much shorter, and their frequencies are much much much higher. To get the frequency of any wavelength, divide 300,000,000 by the wavelength in meters, or divide 30,000,000,000 by the wavelength in centimeters, or divide 300,000,000,000 by the wavelength in millimeters, or divide 300,000,000,000,000,000 by the wavelength in nanometers. The answer is the frequency in Hz. Divide it by 1,000 to get KHz, or divide it by 1,000,000 to get MHz, or divide it by 1,000,000,000 to get GHz. For the wavelength of any frequency, divide 300,000,000 by the frequency in Hz, or divide 300,000 by the frequency in KHz, or divide 300 by the frequency in MHz, or divide 0.3 by the frequency in GHz. The answer is in meters. Multiply it by 100 to get centimeters, or multiply it by 1,000 to get millimeters, or multiply it by 1,000,000,000 to get nanometers.
Microwave ovens cook with several hundred watts of radio waves at a frequency at or near 2.450 GHz (2,450 MHz) / wavelength = 12 cm.
The (electromagnetic ) radiation they emit is short or micro wavelength ( 2.45 GHz frequency) which causes resonance in water molecules, resulting in rapid heating.
