They are the same thing; vibrations of the electromagnetic field. Microwaves have a frequency between 0.3 GHz to 300 GHz, and radio waves have a frequency between 3 Hz to 300 GHz. So microwaves are a type of radio wave.

What are the differences between radio waves and micro waves?

There is no difference. Microwaves are radio waveswith any frequency above 3 GHz.


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 work with sound waves at all?

Microwaves and sound waves are similar because they are electromagnetic waves. The main difference between the two types of waves is the length of the wave. Sound waves are longer than microwaves.


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.


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.


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 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 wavelengths are longer than light but shorter than radio waves?

Infrared light, microwaves and radio waves have wavelengths longer than visible light. Radio waves have the longest wavelength.


Do satellites normally use microwaves or radio waves?

Microwaves are radio waves.Most satellites communicate in microwave radio frequency bands.
