A toaster consumes more energy per second than a computer might, but toasters are used only occasionally; a computer could be left on for weeks or months at a time, meaning it uses more energy than a toaster.

Do microwaves or xrays have a higher frequency?

Yes and no, but the answer is more complicated. The energy given off by the heating elements of both a toaster and microwave is electromagnetic energy. A microwave oven is a tuned source of radiation, commonly about 2.45 gigahertz with a wavelength of about 5 inches or a dozen centimeters. A toaster oven puts our radiant energy due to heating of the elements and that is a very broad source of electromagnetic energy. In the most common situation of a household toaster, the energy output is significant in the microwave and infrared (roughly millimeter to meter wavelength). Thus, the heating element of a toaster gives off energy that is both higher and lower in frequency than a microwave. The heating process of a toaster has a significant component that involves the temperature of the air which is increased when the internal surfaces of the toaster absorb the electromagnetic energy. The heating process of a toaster may be more or less a consequence of the heating of the air based on the design of the toaster. A bread toaster is different than a toaster oven in this regard. Finally, it is fair to say that the toaster puts out a significant fraction of its energy infrared part of the spectrum and that part of the toaster's output has a higher frequency than the microwave.

When you turn a toaster oven what happens to the electrical energy?

When you turn on a toaster oven, electrical energy from the outlet is converted into heat energy by the heating elements inside the oven. This heat energy is then used to cook or bake food placed inside the oven.
