Microwaves do not have a high ionization character because they have lower energy compared to ionizing radiation such as X-rays or gamma rays. Microwaves are non-ionizing radiation and typically do not have enough energy to remove electrons from atoms or molecules.
The wavelength of microwaves typically ranges from 1 millimeter to 1 meter in length. The exact wavelength depends on the frequency of the microwaves, with lower frequencies having longer wavelengths and higher frequencies having shorter wavelengths.
Ionisation energy differs between elements due to variations in the number of protons in their nucleus, which affects the strength of the attraction between the electrons and the nucleus. Elements with higher atomic numbers typically have higher ionisation energies due to increased nuclear charge. Additionally, ionisation energy generally increases across a period and decreases down a group on the periodic table.
X-rays have higher energy than microwaves.
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.
No, infrared rays have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies than microwaves. Infrared rays fall between the visible and microwaves on the electromagnetic spectrum.
The ionisation enthalpy of potassium is lower than that of sodium.

Yes, they are.
No, infrared rays have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies than microwaves. Infrared rays fall between the visible and microwaves on the electromagnetic spectrum.
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.
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.
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.
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).
No. Several other electromagnetic waves - including visible light - have a higher frequency.
