There is no good answer. Energy per wave goes up as frequency. But you can get cooked by light, and microwaves can warm you pleasantly, or not affect you at all.

Is a electromagnetic waves a form of sound?
No. Electromagnetic waves are light waves that include gamma waves, x-rays, UV light, visible light, infrared light, microwaves, TV waves, and radio waves--basically any form of radiation.
Are microwaves visible to humans?
No, microwaves aren't visible to humans. Microwaves are electromagnetic energy, and the only electromagnetic energy humans can see is that of visible light.
Is Microwaves a form of electromagnetic energy?
No, they form Radiation Energy
Which has higher frequencies microwaves or visible lights?
Visible light has shorter wavelengths than microwaves. Microwaves, which might be considered the highest energy radio waves, have a longer wavelength (and a lower frequency) than visible light.
What are radio waves related to?
Radio waves are a form of light except you can't see them the only form of light you can see is visible light (duh!!) there are 7 types of light in this order there frequency and radiation power increases Radio waves Microwaves In-fared Visible light Ultra violent X - ray Gamma ray
Do any microwaves use light to help cook?
Microwaves use radiation to cook food and radiation is a form of light. They do not use actual light bulbs to cook though.
Are microwaves are a form of visible light?
No. If you take the light bulb out of the microwave oven, then you can't tell by looking at it whether or not it's running.
Are microwaves a form of visible light?
No. If you take the light bulb out of the microwave oven, then you can't tell by looking at it whether or not it's running.
Why is it easier to divert microwaves around an object then to divert light waves?
actually microwaves are easier to bend than light waves because microwaves are larger than light waves
Is visible light a form of electromagnetic radiation?
Yes. Radio waves, microwaves, visible light, and x rays are all examples of electromagnetic waves.

Is Microwaves a form of electromagnetic energy?
No, they form Radiation Energy
Which waves are shorter than microwaves and longer than visible light?
Infrared Light has a longer wavelength than visible and a shorter wavelength than microwaves.
Which has higher frequencies microwaves or visible lights?
Visible light has shorter wavelengths than microwaves. Microwaves, which might be considered the highest energy radio waves, have a longer wavelength (and a lower frequency) than visible light.
What is a fact of a microwave?
Microwaves are a form of energy.
Does green light produce microwaves or gamma rays?
no
