the electromagnetic spectrum (all existing radiation) is organized in order of shortest wavelength from the left to longest wavelength from the right. Infrared waves, felt as heat, are slightly longer than the visible light spectrum, and microwaves longer still, and radio waves longer still.

How are visible light infrared light X-rays gamma rays microwaves and radio waves related?
they are all part of the electro magnet spectrum :)
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.

The radio waves with the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies are called what?
From longest wave length to shortest (least energy to most, lowest frequency to highest) the spectrum is: Radio & TV - Microwaves - Infrared - Visible Light - Ultraviolet - X-Rays - Gamma Rays
What is the difference between microwaves and radio waves?
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.
Do satellites normally use microwaves or radio waves?
Microwaves are radio waves.Most satellites communicate in microwave radio frequency bands.
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.
What type of waves are found after radio waves and before infrared waves?
Microwaves
What electromagnetic wave has a wavelength greater than that of light?
Radio, microwaves, radar, and infrared radiation have.
Where would you place microwaves on the electromagnetic spectrum?
Microwaves would be found below infrared radiation, which is below visible light. They'd be at the top of what is called the radio spectrum.
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.
Are microwaves a type of radio wave?
Microwaves are a frequency of electromagnetic radiation. It has a higher frequency than radio waves, but has a lower frequency than infrared light.
Is microwaves are a type of infrared waves?
yes so is am fm radio and tv signals
What are waves that are used in television?
Radio waves, microwaves, infrared and visible light can all be used for communication. Radio waves – are used to transmit television and radio programs. Microwaves – are used to transmit satellite television and for mobile phones. Infrared – is used to transmit information from remote controls.
What are 2 electromagnetic waves?
gamma, x-rays, microwaves, visible light, infrared, radio waves
What is a sentence using the word electromagnetic wave?
Radio waves, infrared, and microwaves are examples of electromagnetic waves.
Arrange the following types of electromagnetic radiation in order of increasing frequency infrared comic rays visible light microwaves radio waves and ultraviolet?
In order of increasing frequency: (i) radio waves. (ii) microwaves. (iii) infrared. (iv) visible light. (v) ultraviolet. hope this helps =)
