'Microwave' is not a scientific term, and encompasses a wide range of frequencies. Wikipedia speaks of a range between 0.3 and 300GHz, resulting in a wavelength between one meter and one millimeter.

Other interpretations of the colloquial term 'microwave' might exist.

Why microwaves do not come out through the small holes in the door of a microwave oven?

The dimensions of the holes are less than half the wavelength of the microwaves. Most microwaves operate at 2.5 GHz making the wavelength about 1cm. Half of that is 0.5 cm. Any hole small than this will not allow the wave to pass through.


Do small microwaves cost less to operate than large microwaves?

Small microwaves use fewer watts of energy to heat food, but there may be a trade off with requiring a slightly longer cooking time. Any net gain is unlikely to be noticeable on your monthly energy bill. When you choose a microwave, you should select it based on the available kitchen space you have for it.


Why is the prefix micro used to describe microwaves?

The prefix "micro-" is used in microwaves to indicate that the wavelength of these waves is in the range of micrometers, also known as microwaves. The term microwaves distinguishes these electromagnetic waves from other types of waves, such as radio waves or infrared waves, based on their specific wavelength range.
