Are microwaves a type of radio wave?
Microwaves are a frequency of electromagnetic radiation. It has a higher frequency than radio waves, but has a lower frequency than infrared light.
Which type of electromagnetic wave has a lower frequency than microwaves?
Radio - in all its variations.
Can you see micro waves?
No, unless you are not talking about microwaves in the electromagnetic spectrum. The reason we can not see them is because they are not part of the visible spectrum. Microwaves have lower frequencies.Microwaves do use microwaves. The microwave uses microwaves to excite the water molecules making the food cook faster than a conventional oven.
Is microwaves are type of infrared wave?
Microwaves have a frequency range of about 300 MHz to about 300 GHz. Those frequencies are lower than infrared but higher than FM radio.No, they are usually considered separate ranges of the E.M. spectrum.
Is cooking food using a microwave oven an example of radiation?
Yes, since the oven heats food by irradiating it with microwaves. Microwaves are an example of electromagnetic radiation, having a frequency lower than that of visible light.

As you move from the blue region of the electromagnetic spectrum to the red region of the electromagnetic spectrum what happens to the frequency of the light?
colour blue ------> red frequency drops, wavelength increases, because speed remains constant and speed=frequency*wavelength
Do gamma rays have a higher or lower frequency than microwaves?
Gamma rays have a much higher frequency than microwaves, even though microwaves have a longer wavelength than gamma rays.All forms of electromagnetic radiation travel at the speed of light or 186,000 miles per second. So the increase in wavelength(microwaves) means they do not oscillate as fast(lower frequency) in order to reach 186,000 miles per second.
What type of electromagnetic wave has a lower frequency than microwaves?
No. Both are examples of electromagnetic radiation. The only difference between them is their respective frequencies (wavelengths). Both travel at the speed that we call the "speed of light" . . . 300,000,000 meters (186,282 miles) per second.
Is microwaves are type of infrared wave?
Microwaves have a frequency range of about 300 MHz to about 300 GHz. Those frequencies are lower than infrared but higher than FM radio.No, they are usually considered separate ranges of the E.M. spectrum.
What are the highest-frequency and the lowest-frequency parts of the em spectrum?
-- The lowest frequencies that we have a name for are what we call "radio" waves. -- The highest frequencies that we have a name for are what we call "gamma" rays. Although there is not upper or lower limit in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Yes, since the oven heats food by irradiating it with microwaves. Microwaves are an example of electromagnetic radiation, having a frequency lower than that of visible light.
Why infrared is named as infrared?
This has to do with the electromagnetic spectrum. Whether you know it or not, Gamma-rays, ultraviolet, X-rays, microwaves, visible light, infrared, and radio/tv waves are all the same thing, just in different doses. Infrared literally means "below-red", while ultraviolet means (beyond or above violet, or purple). With fore-said spectrum, visible lights highest frequency color appears to us as purple. At a slightly lower frequency we observe blue, then green, followed by yellow, and eventually red. In between each of these colors we observe intermediate colors like magenta, teal, orange and pink. At a frequency lower than, or below, red, we begin to enter the infrared area of the electromagnetic spectrum. Above purple, we enter the ultraviolet area of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Which of the types of electromagnetic radiation has lower energy than microwaves?
Radio.
What kind of waves are gamma rays and radio waves?
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves and are a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Other electromagnetic waves in the electromagnetic spectrum are microwaves, visible light, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays
