Microwaves are the electromagnetic waves in a large part of the broad range usually called "radio waves".
They're the radiation with wavelengths between about 1 mm and 10 cm, corresponding to frequencies
between 3 - 300 GHz.
Interestingly ... the term "microwave" is officially not used for radio waves with wavelengths
longer than 10 cm (frequency below 3 GHz). If you hold to that official definition, then the microwave
oven ... operating at 2.45 GHz ... is using radio waves, but officially not using 'microwave' energy.
What else can I help you with?
Do microwaves work with sound waves at all?
Microwaves and sound waves are similar because they are electromagnetic waves. The main difference between the two types of waves is the length of the wave. Sound waves are longer than microwaves.
Are microwaves a type of infared wave?
No, it is a radio wave.
What wave viabrates faster radio wave or microwaves?
Microwaves ARE radio waves, with frequencies above 3 GHz.
Are microwaves longituinal or transverse?
Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic wave that are transverse in nature. This means that the electric and magnetic fields of microwaves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
What has bigger wave lengths microwaves gamma raysultraviolet wavesinfrared waves?
Microwaves
Why microwaves are not a type of infrared wave?
Microwaves and infrared waves are both forms of electromagnetic radiation, but they have different wavelengths. Microwaves have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies compared to infrared waves. This difference in wavelength categorizes them as separate types of electromagnetic radiation.
What are the six main types of electromagnetic waves?
There are seven main types: Radio wave, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultra-violet, x-rays and gamma rays.
What wave is longer than a microwaves?
tsunami
Are microwaves transverse or compressional?
Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic wave, which is transverse in nature. This means that the electric and magnetic fields oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
Are microwaves longitudinal or transeverse?
Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic wave that is transverse in nature. This means that the oscillations of electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
Does microwaves wave has the longest wavelenght?
No radio waves do.
What is the form of electromagnetic wave from radar system?
Microwaves.
