"Microwaves" are radio waves ... those with wavelengths of 10 centimeters or less.
The wavelengths of the signals used for point-to-point microwave communication
are shorter than the wavelengths of the signals used to broadcast radio and TV to
household and automotive receivers, and also longer than the wavelength of the
signals to the GPS receiver in your car.
Microwaves are shorter than the wavelengths used to operate your cellphone.
The microwave range of frequencies (wavelengths) is used for the signals that bring
900 channels of satellite TV directly to the little dish on the corner of your house.
Here's an interesting factoid: Technically, the box in your kitchen that heats the
leftover meatloaf in 13 seconds is not a "microwave" oven. "Microwave" officially
refers to frequencies of 3 GHz and higher (wavelength 10 cm and less). The handy
kitchen appliance operates at the frequency assigned to it, which in the USA is
2.450 GHz (12.24 cm).
What else can I help you with?
Which light has the longest wavelength and the shortest frequency?
The longest visible wavelength of light appears red. "Longest wavelength" is equivalent to 'lowest frequency'.
Which wave has the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum?
Radio waves have the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.
What is the longest wavelength on a electromagnetic spectrum?
The electromagnetic waves with the longest wavelength are called radio waves.
Is the longest wavelength violet?
No. In the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, the waves at the red end have the longest wavelength (lowest frequency), and those at the violet end have the shortest wavelength (highest frequency).
What has the second longest wavelength?
Red light has the second longest wavelength in the visible light spectrum, after infrared light.
What is the longest wavelength photon?
There is no longest wavelength for photons. It can be arbitrarily long.
Which electromagnetic waves has the longest wavelength?
"radio waves" have longest wavelength..
Photons with lowest energy have the?
-- longest wavelength -- lowest frequency
Which colour have longest wavelength in the visible spectrum?
Red light has the longest wavelength.
Which light has the longest wavelength and the shortest frequency?
The longest visible wavelength of light appears red. "Longest wavelength" is equivalent to 'lowest frequency'.
What color of visible light has longest wavelength?
Red is the longest wavelength of visible light
Which wave has the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum?
Radio waves have the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.
Which of the colors of light has the longest wavelength?
The color red has the longest wavelength of any color.
What color of visible light has the longest wavelength?
Red is the longest wavelength of visible light
What color of the rainbow has the longest wavelength?
Red light has the longest wavelength in the visible light spectrum.
What is the longest wavelength on a electromagnetic spectrum?
The electromagnetic waves with the longest wavelength are called radio waves.
Which type of visible light has the longest wavelength?
The longest wavelength / lowest frequency visible light is the red end of the spectrum. The shortest wavelength / highest frequency visible light is the violet end of the spectrum.
