Microwaves typically have frequencies ranging from 2.4 to 2.5 gigahertz (GHz) in household microwave ovens. In communication technologies like cell phones or Wi-Fi, microwaves operate at higher frequencies, usually within the range of several gigahertz (GHz) to several hundred gigahertz (THz).
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.
A typical microwave wavelength ranges from 1 millimeter to 1 meter, with most household microwaves operating at a frequency of around 2.45 gigahertz, which corresponds to a wavelength of approximately 12.2 centimeters.
No. Several other electromagnetic waves - including visible light - have a higher frequency.
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.
Radio waves have a lower frequency than microwaves in the electromagnetic spectrum. They have the lowest frequency and longest wavelengths of all the electromagnetic waves.

highest
The forms of electromagnetic waves with the second lowest frequency are microwaves. They have frequencies ranging from about 300 MHz to 300 GHz. Microwaves are commonly used in communication, radar, and cooking.
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.
