What wave is shorter than a microwave and longer than visible light?
heat
Which type of body wave always arrives after the P-wave?
The next type of seismic wave to arrive after the P-wave is the S-wave.
How do you determine the molecule is microwave active or inactive?
It is determined by whether the molecule is polar or nonpolar. Nonpolar molecules do not absorb radiation in the microwave region; therefore, they are microwave inactive. Polar molecules are microwave active.
What type of electromagnetic wave is 300E9?
Radio wave
Which type of wave would be created at the epicenter?
Seismic Wave(:
What type of antenna use in telecom?
Short-wave, microwave, cellular telephone
What type of wave is microwave?
"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.
Is a microwave a type of infrared wave?
yes so is am fm radio and tv signals
What type of electromagnetic waves are used for radars?
Microwave (portion of EM Spectrum lying between radio wave and infrared wave).
Is radio wave a light wave?
No, it is actually a microwave wave.
Is a microwave a medium?
No,a microwave is not a medium,because it is a wave.
Why Microwave is called a microwave?
A microwave oven is called a 'microwave' because that is the type of radio wave it uses to induce heat. An RF wave with a frequency between 300 MHz and 300 GHz is considered a microwave. Microwave ovens typically operate around 1-2 GHz. It is always surprising as to why they are called micro waves when their frequency is in Giga range. Its because, their wavelength is in micron range.
What is the diminutive of wave?
The diminutive of wave is wavelet.
Which is longer a gamma wave a microwave a visible light or an x ray?
microwave
What is mean by 'X-band microwave bench?
The X-band microwave bench is a system which provides standard type rectangular wave-guide components. It includes the study of reflex Klystron and impedance measurement.
What does a microwave convert electrical energy into?
Electricity is converted into the electromagnetic wave called a microwave.
Is it true or false that microwave ovens use a type of infrared wave?
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.
