Yes and no, but the answer is more complicated.
The energy given off by the heating elements of both a toaster and microwave is electromagnetic energy.
A microwave oven is a tuned source of radiation, commonly about 2.45 gigahertz with a wavelength of about 5 inches or a dozen centimeters.
A toaster oven puts our radiant energy due to heating of the elements and that is a very broad source of electromagnetic energy. In the most common situation of a household toaster, the energy output is significant in the microwave and infrared (roughly millimeter to meter wavelength).
Thus, the heating element of a toaster gives off energy that is both higher and lower in frequency than a microwave.
The heating process of a toaster has a significant component that involves the temperature of the air which is increased when the internal surfaces of the toaster absorb the electromagnetic energy. The heating process of a toaster may be more or less a consequence of the heating of the air based on the design of the toaster. A bread toaster is different than a toaster oven in this regard.
Finally, it is fair to say that the toaster puts out a significant fraction of its energy infrared part of the spectrum and that part of the toaster's output has a higher frequency than the microwave.
What else can I help you with?
Which has higher frequency ultraviolet or microwave?
Ultraviolet light has a higher frequency than microwaves. Ultraviolet light falls in the range of the electromagnetic spectrum with higher frequency and shorter wavelengths compared to microwaves which have lower frequency and longer wavelengths.
How the period and frequency of electromagnetic waves change between gamma rays and microwaves?
Gamma rays have a shorter wavelength and higher frequency compared to microwaves. This means that gamma rays have a higher frequency and shorter period than microwaves. As you move from gamma rays to microwaves, the period of the electromagnetic waves increases while the frequency decreases.
Do microwaves have the highest frequency?
No. Several other electromagnetic waves - including visible light - have a higher frequency.
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.
Do infrared waves have a higher frequency than microwaves?
Yes, infrared waves have a higher frequency than microwaves. Infrared waves have frequencies ranging from about 300 GHz to 400 THz, while microwaves typically have frequencies between 300 MHz and 300 GHz.
How are radio waves xrays microwaves and the suns rays different?
Radio waves ... including microwaves ... and X-rays are different only in wavelength (frequency). The sun radiates all of them.
Which has higher frequency ultraviolet or microwave?
Ultraviolet light has a higher frequency than microwaves. Ultraviolet light falls in the range of the electromagnetic spectrum with higher frequency and shorter wavelengths compared to microwaves which have lower frequency and longer wavelengths.

Yes, infrared waves have a higher frequency than microwaves. Infrared waves have frequencies ranging from about 300 GHz to 400 THz, while microwaves typically have frequencies between 300 MHz and 300 GHz.
Are microwaves a type of radio wave?
Yes, microwaves are a type of electromagnetic wave, similar to radio waves but with a higher frequency and shorter wavelength. They are used in microwave ovens to heat food by exciting water molecules, causing them to vibrate and generate heat.
Do gamma rays have a higher or lower frequency than microwaves?
Gamma rays have a much higher frequency than microwaves, even though microwaves have a longer wavelength than gamma rays.All forms of electromagnetic radiation travel at the speed of light or 186,000 miles per second. So the increase in wavelength(microwaves) means they do not oscillate as fast(lower frequency) in order to reach 186,000 miles per second.
Which has higher frequency microwaves or tv waves?
In the entire spectrum of electromagnetic waves, microwaves and radiowaves (microwaves are sometimes classified under radio waves), have the longest wavelengths, and the lowest frequencies (and therefore, energy).
How do the waves of the electromagnetic spectrum differ?
In the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation the wave property that changes is the frequency. So for example xrays have higher frequency then blue light which has higher frequency then red light which has higher frequency then radio waves etc.
Does xrays have a lower frequency?
Compared to most forms of electromagnetic radiation, X-rays have a high frequency. Only gamma rays have a higher frequency.
Are microwaves higher in frequency than short wave radio?
Yes but has shorter wavelength than radiowaves.
