Infrared radiation has a shorter wavelength and higher frequency than microwave radiation. Infrared is commonly used for heating and communication applications, while microwaves are often used for cooking, radar systems, and telecommunications. Each type of radiation interacts with matter differently, with infrared being absorbed and converted into heat, while microwaves are efficiently absorbed by water molecules.
Microwave radiation has longer wavelengths and is commonly used in communication technology, cooking, and radar systems. Infrared radiation has shorter wavelengths and is used in night vision, heating, and remote sensing applications. Microwave radiation can penetrate through clouds and walls, while infrared radiation is absorbed by most materials.
Infrared light is found in sources such as the sun, heat lamps, and infrared cameras. It falls between the visible light and microwave regions on the electromagnetic spectrum.
Microwave radiation generally has greater energy than infrared radiation. Microwaves have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies compared to infrared radiation, which results in lower energy levels for infrared rays.
Microwave ovens employ microwave radiation, which is lower in frequency than infrared radiation, to generate the heat in the food they cook. They don't use infrared radiation per se.
Thermal imaging technology detects heat emitted by objects, while infrared imaging technology uses infrared light to create images. Thermal imaging is better at detecting temperature differences, while infrared imaging can provide more detailed images.

a microwave requires a much higher frequency
A microwave is a type of electromagnetic radiation, while a microwave oven is a kitchen appliance that uses microwaves to cook or heat food.
Microwave radiation generally has greater energy than infrared radiation. Microwaves have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies compared to infrared radiation, which results in lower energy levels for infrared rays.
== == Infrared light lies between the visible and microwave portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared light has a range of wavelengths, just like visible light has wavelengths that range from red light to violet. "Near infrared" light is closest in wavelength to visible light and "far infrared" is closer to the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The longer, far infrared wavelengths are about the size of a pin head and the shorter, near infrared ones are the size of cells, or are microscopic.
Microwave ovens employ microwave radiation, which is lower in frequency than infrared radiation, to generate the heat in the food they cook. They don't use infrared radiation per se.
A short-wavelength radio wave. An electromagnetic wave that is somewhere in between regular radio waves and infrared radiation.
The frequency of visible light falls between ultraviolet and infrared light on the electromagnetic spectrum. It has wavelengths ranging from approximately 400 to 700 nanometers.
Thermal imaging technology detects heat emitted by objects, while infrared imaging technology uses infrared light to create images. Thermal imaging is better at detecting temperature differences, while infrared imaging can provide more detailed images.
Infrared technology detects infrared radiation emitted by objects, while thermal imaging technology creates images based on the temperature differences of objects.
