What is the difference between infrared waves and microwaves?
Microwaves are electromagnetic waves that occur on the EMR (Electromagnetic Radiation) scale above radio/tv waves and below infrared and visible light waves. They are used in cooking devices (microwave oven) and as carrier waves for cell phone and other communication devices. In other words, a "microwave" is a type of electromagnetic radiation (like visible light waves, tv waves and so on), and a "microwave oven" is a cooking device that uses microwaves to heat foods by stimulation of the water molecule. See the link below and read the answer posted to the related question for more.
Are different types of electromagnetic radiation fundamentally different types of waves?
No, this is a false statement.
Is radio waves a form of radiation?
Yes, radio waves are electromagnetic waves.They are in the part of the spectrum with the longer wavelengths, longer than microwaves, and visible light waves.
Type of radio waves that excites water molecules?
Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic radiation. The EM waves used in microwaves are chosen speciiffically for there ability to excite water molecules.
Do different electromagnetic waves have different frequencies?
Yes. The shorter the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave, the higher its frequency is. Don't confuse frequency with velocity! All electromagnetic radiation travels at the same rate, C (3*10^8) m/s.
What things are electromagnetic radiation emitting from?
Electromagnetic radiation is emitted from many different things. Some of the things that emit electromagnetic radiation are microwaves, x-rays and radios.
Is Microwaves a form of electromagnetic energy?
No, they form Radiation Energy
What is the maximum distance for microwaves?
There isn't one. Microwaves are electromagnetic radiation and have a theoretically unlimited range.
Are microwaves made out of rocks?
NO: Microwaves are electromagnetic radiation occupying the spectrum between radio and infra-red.
What kind of electromagnetic radiation does the very large array collect?
microwaves
Which of the types of electromagnetic radiation has lower energy than microwaves?
Radio.
What are Microwaves infrared waves and gamma rays are all examples of?
Electromagnetic radiation.
Is there copper in microwaves?
No, microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiationand like all electromagnetic radiation is composed of massless particles called photons or is waves depending on how it is measured.Copper is a metal.
Are microwaves electromagnetic or machanical?
Microwave is electromagnetic radiation. It's just radio at frequencies above 3 GHz.
What is gamma radiation composed of?
It is electromagnetic radiation just like radio, microwaves, visible light etc.. except it has the highest frequency and energy and shortest wavelength of all electromagnetic radiation.
Is heat transferred from a microwave to the food is a example of conduction?
No. It is an example of radiation. The heat is transferred by microwaves, which are a form of electromagnetic radiation. Conduction occurs when two objects of different temperatures are in contact or when different parts of an object have different temperatures.
What are electromagnetic frequencies to which are eyes are sensitive?
Electromagnetic waves of different frequency are called by different names since they have different sources and effects on matter. In order of increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength these are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma rays.
