Microwave radition is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. They are located higher than that of the visible spectrum (light) because they are shorter in wavelength (higher in energy)
Sorry, but your answer is incorrect. Microwaves are much lower in frequency and have longer wavelengths than visible light:
Frequency Wavelength Quantum Energy (eV)
Microwaves 300 MHz - 300 GHz 1 meter - 1 millimeter 0.00001 - 0.001
Light ~5,000,000 GHz ~ 0.0006 millimeters 1.65 - 3.1
Therefore, there is a lot more energy in visible light: longer wavelength = lower energy

∙ 13y agoThe microwaves are produced by a generator called a magnetron that is powered by electricity. The reason the microwave energy cannot 'escape' the microwave (even through the little holes in the window screen!) is because the waves cannot 'fit' through the holes in the metal screen, and the microwaves are blocked by the metal in general. The concept of them 'fitting' through the holes is a bit more complicated than just that, but that is essentially how it works.

What are energy conversions in a oven?
electrical energy of when you turn the oven on to thermal energy when it is heating up
How is kinetic energy used in a microwave oven?
Kinetic energy is the mechanical energy (thermal energy) that does the heating/cooking in a microwave oven. The microwaves that the oven generates stimulate chemical bonds in food, and this is the conversion of electromagnetic energy into that heat we mentioned.
What are 2 energy conversions that takes place when you warm up a cup of cocoa in a microwave oven?
An energy conversion that takes place when you warm a cup of hot cocoa in a microwave is a transfer of heat from the microwave's microwaves to the hot cocoa.
Is light energy used in a microwave oven?
The microwave energy in a microwave oven is of a much lower frequency than light, but light is electromagnetic energy like the microwave radiation is.
Microwave is an example of what kind of energy transformation?
What kind of energy transformation does a microwave have
What is the energy conversion for microwave?
The type of energy conversion for a microwave is the transformation of electrical energy into light energy. This device works by focusing microwave light on the food inside of it.

What energy transformation occurs in an oven?
The electricity (electromagnetic energy) that drives the microwave oven is routed to the magnetron, which generates the microwave energy. (The electricity and microwave energy are both forms of electromagnetic energy.) The microwaves travel through a waveguide into the cavity (the cooking space) in the oven, and used to excite chemical bonds in the food items. This is a conversion of microwave energy (electromagnetic energy) into the mechanical energy of heat.
Is light energy used in a microwave oven?
The microwave energy in a microwave oven is of a much lower frequency than light, but light is electromagnetic energy like the microwave radiation is.

What kind of energy transformation does a microwave have
A microwave oven converts electrical energy into what energy?
Into microwave electromagnetic radiation.
Does a microwave use radiant energy?
Both microwave radio transmitters and microwave ovens generate and pour out radiant energy.
What kind of energy does a microwave oven use?
A microwave oven uses electrical energy (which is electromagnetic energy) from the mains, and it generates microwave energy (which is also electromagnetic energy) to heat/cook food items.
What energy does a microwave have?
heat energy
What kind of energy makes a microwave work?
The input energy is electricity. The output energy (what does the cooking), is microwave radiation.
