Why do microwaves ovens have shields in them to stop waves scaping?
because they do as protective shields to protect the oven
Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is nearest to radio waves?
Microwaves and, on the other side, ultra low frequency waves.
What do microwaves have in common with light waves?
both are electromagnetic waves
Which is more dangerous Visible waves or microwaves?
Microwaves. Tburn or cook from inside out.
What are microwaves light and radio waves examples of?
They are both electromagnetic waves.
Why do microwaves ovens have shields in them to stop waves scaping?

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.
What kind of waves are microwaves?
Electromagnetic waves, just like light, but with different frequency and wavelength.
Why is it easier to divert microwaves around an object then to divert light waves?
actually microwaves are easier to bend than light waves because microwaves are larger than light waves
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.
Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is nearest to radio waves?
Microwaves and, on the other side, ultra low frequency waves.
Why is the prefix micro used to describe microwaves?
The prefix "micro-" is used in microwaves to indicate that the wavelength of these waves is in the range of micrometers, also known as microwaves. The term microwaves distinguishes these electromagnetic waves from other types of waves, such as radio waves or infrared waves, based on their specific wavelength range.
What type of waves are found after radio waves and before infrared waves?
Microwaves
What do microwaves have in common with light waves?
both are electromagnetic waves
What has bigger wave lengths microwaves gamma raysultraviolet wavesinfrared waves?
Microwaves
What are microwaves one type of?
frequency
Which is more dangerous Visible waves or microwaves?
Microwaves. Tburn or cook from inside out.
