Best Answer

Microwave is a radio wave.

Depending on the country you're operating in and the standard to which

your Wi-fi equipment operates, you'll be conducting radio communication

around 2.4 GHz, or 3.6 GHz, or 4.9 to 5.8 GHz.

(If you want to be super-technical about it, microwaves are radio waves with

frequencies above 3.0 GHz. This leads to the awkward fact that microwave ovens,

operating around 2.46 GHz in the US, don't literally use microwave radiation.)

What is one example of a radio wave?

-- AM radio -- FM radio -- TV (non-cable) -- TV (satellite) -- police radio -- firetruck radio -- ambulance radio -- sheriff's radio -- highway patrol radio -- taxi radio -- garage-door opener -- pilot's communication -- pilot's navigation -- Blue tooth -- cellphone -- wireless Internet in the house -- iPhone -- Wifi around town -- microwave cooking -- microwave communication -- weather radar -- cellular phone -- GPS signals


What form of electromagnetic waves are used in tv signals?

It depends what you mean by TV wave. If you mean the transmission of television signals, then yes. An electrical signal can be transmitted from about 10kHz, so fits into the low end of the electromagnetic spectrum. The frequency for TV carrier signals will vary around the world, but they're typically VHF and UHF, so from 30MHz to 3GHz. Of course, digital systems and satellite distribution mean higher frequencies - in the microwave spectrum (higher frequency than light).


Shortwaves are high frequency radio signals communicated over short distances?

Bluetooth, WiFi, and remote-lock car keys do that.


Can you get WiFi through xm radio?

No you can not get Wi-Fi through XM radio. XM radio is satellite radio, some form of internet connection is needed to use XM radio.


What is the difference between radio frequency and audio frequency?

They terms frequency are essentially the same, except radio waves are electromagnetic, and acoustic waves are pressure waves. An audio frequency is a range of frequencies that we can hear, approx up to 20Khz, anything past 20Khz is said to be radio waves

What is the space wave propagation frequency?

Space wave propagation frequency is nothing special, it is the same frequency of the wave in question, for example WLAN Wifi produces 5.2 GHz radio wave from your computer or from router, so that would be the the space wave propagation frequency in question


Where on electromagnetic spectrum is 1.729Mhz?

The clearest, most convenient way to describe positions on the electromagnetic spectrum is in terms of frequency. So you've already categorized your particular signal in the most useful terms. Relative to other, recognizable, familiar stops along the spectrum, 1.729 MHz is just slightly outside the top of the commercial AM broadcast band ... a little higher than the highest-frequency AM radio station you'll ever hear, simply because AM radio frequency assignments stop at 1.7 MHz. These days, 1.729 MHz is now a rather low radio frequency. It's not even "short wave", and it's below the lowest frequency allocated to "ham" radio operation. Compared to weather radar, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, short-wave broadcast, microwave, MRI, and cellular telephone, 1.729 MHz is totally horse-and-buggy radio.


What are the benefits of WiFi internet radio?

The benefits of WiFi internet radio include the ability to hear radio stations that may be being broadcast from anywhere in the world. Conventional radio relies on radio waves that can be transmitted to a set distance on a set frequency band. WiFi internet radio requires just a stable internet connection.


How does WiFi on a plane work?

Just like WiFi on the ground a WiFi router is used that your device can connect to. This router gets its internet connection by microwave radio link (probably from an orbiting satellite).


Can your microwave receive WiFi?

No, your microwave cannot receive wifi, my sincerest apologies.


How can you get free wifi on my microwave?

You can't. The microwave oven kitchen appliance is equivalent to a high power radio transmitter in several ways, but is totally incapable of receiving anything.

electromagnetic spectrum is the group of all possible frequencies or wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation


What is difference between lifi and wifi?

In wifi, modulated signal is radio wave where as life modulated signal is light. It is visible electromagnetic spectrum and has higher bandwidth than wifi but has Line of sight limitation.

Should you be worried that your WiFi internet goes out whenever the microwave is on. Im not worried about the WiFi but what the microwave might be doing my family?

Yes you should be worried. You should get the microwave tested for radiation leakage before you use it again.
