What electromagnetic wave has a wavelength shorter than a microwave but longer than light?

The electromagnetic wave with a wavelength shorter than a microwave but longer than light is an infrared wave. Infrared waves have wavelengths ranging from approximately 1 millimeter to 750 nanometers. These waves are commonly used in thermal imaging, remote controls, and communication technologies.


Is radio wave a light wave?

No, it is actually a microwave wave.


How is a microwave an example of a transverse wave?

A microwave is an electromagnetic wave, which is a form of transverse wave. In transverse waves, the vibration or oscillation of the wave occurs perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. In a microwave oven, the transverse microwave radiation heats and cooks food by causing water molecules to vibrate at high frequencies.
