The "microwave" range of radio waves is defined as frequencies between 3 - 300 GHz.

But the question says " a " microwave, so we suspect it's talking about the box

you use to heat the leftover meat loaf.

The microwave oven operates in the Industrial/Scientific/Medical frequency band,

at or near 2,450 MHz. (So, technically, it isn't a 'microwave' at all, since that frequency

is below the range defined as 'microwave'. Guess it should be called a "UHF Oven".)

What is frequency reserved for 3khz to 300khz for radio wave and microwave?

The frequency range reserved for radio waves is typically below 3 kHz, while the microwave frequency range starts from about 300 MHz (not kHz) and extends to 300 GHz. Within this range, different applications and technologies utilize specific frequency bands to ensure efficient and interference-free communication.


Does a microwave transfer heat by radiation?

Yes, a microwave transfers heat through radiation. Microwave ovens use electromagnetic radiation in the microwave frequency range to heat food by causing water molecules in the food to vibrate and generate heat.


What are the three primary frequency ranges in wireless communications?

Radio frequency range which is at 3KHz to 300 MHz, Microwave which is at 300MHz to 300GHz, and Infrared is at 300GHz to 400 THz.


Which has higher frequency ultraviolet or microwave?

Ultraviolet light has a higher frequency than microwaves. Ultraviolet light falls in the range of the electromagnetic spectrum with higher frequency and shorter wavelengths compared to microwaves which have lower frequency and longer wavelengths.


What are the different ranges of the frequency spectrum?

The frequency spectrum is typically divided into different ranges: Audio frequency range: 20 Hz to 20 kHz, encompassing frequencies audible to humans. Radio frequency range: typically ranges from a few kHz to several GHz, used for communication and broadcasting. Microwave frequency range: typically ranges from several GHz to a few hundred GHz, used in microwave ovens and telecommunications. Infrared and visible light range: above microwaves, including the spectrum of visible light and beyond. Ultraviolet, X-ray, and gamma-ray range: higher frequencies with increasing levels of energy and potential harm.


Can a microwave light a light bulb?

No, a microwave does not produce visible light that can be used to light a light bulb. Microwaves generate electromagnetic radiation in the microwave frequency range which is not visible to the human eye.


Is the frequency of radiation used in a microwave oven higher or lower than that of your favorite FM radio station broadcasting at 91.7x10 Hz?

Higher. Microwave ovens operate in the gigahertz range. Your FM station in the megahertz range is a hundred times less.
