Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is nearest to radio waves?

Microwaves are nearest to radio waves in the electromagnetic spectrum. They have slightly higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths compared to radio 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.


Do microwaves have more or less energy than radio waves?

Microwaves have more energy than radio waves. They have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies, which results in more energy being carried by microwaves compared to radio waves.


How are both radio waves and microwaves used for communication?

Radio waves and microwaves are both used for communication through technologies such as mobile phones, Wi-Fi routers, and satellites. Radio waves are commonly used for long-range communication, while microwaves are more often used for shorter-range communication and can carry higher data rates. Both types of waves are able to transmit information wirelessly by modulating their characteristics to encode data.


What kinds of waves do satellites use to transmit their locations to global positioning systems?

very short radio waves or long microwaves (1.2-1.6 GHz). It can go either way.


Are radio waves longer than microwaves?

Radio waves have longer wavelengths than microwaves. Radio waves typically have wavelengths ranging from a few millimeters to kilometers, while microwaves have wavelengths ranging from a few millimeters to a few centimeters.


Why frequency of microwaves is longer than radio waves?

Microwaves are radio waves. That name is given to radio waves atfrequencies above 3 GHz (wavelength less than 10 centimeters).


What can you do to reduce pollution levels by radio waves?

Stop the use of wifi, radios, televisions, satellites, cellular phones, microwaves and any similar wireless devices?


What type of waves are found after radio waves and before infrared waves?

Microwaves


Do microwaves have a longer wavelength than radio waves?

No, microwaves have shorter wavelengths than radio waves. Radio waves have longer wavelengths, ranging from a few millimeters to hundreds of meters, while microwaves typically have wavelengths of a few centimeters to a few millimeters.


Are microwaves radio waves?

Yes and No All waves like that or electomagnetic waves that are the same thing but just operate on different frequencies and wavelengths But not microwaves are as much radio waves as they transmit heat signatures are well as slight audio signature Essentially no but they are very similar microwaves are just faster and at a different wavelengths


What wave viabrates faster radio wave or microwaves?

Microwaves ARE radio waves, with frequencies above 3 GHz.
