Would microwaves have a high or low penetrating ability relative to other em waves?

microwaves are more penetrative than gamma rays, UV radiation and visible light, but less so than radio waves.

How does microwaves harm the body?
Microwaves align polar molecules such as water with the microwaves. This rotation generates energy, which dissipates as heat. So you would be cooked as if you were in a microwave oven.
How does the microwave relate to science?
Microwaves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum which are not visible to the unaided human eye, hence, without scientific research we would never know that microwaves exist.
Which type of electromagnetic wave would be most useful for a device to warm food safely?
Microwaves
Which electromagnetic wave has the highest penetrating power?
ultra voilet rays are characterized with high penetrating power ============================= The EM radiation with the highest penetrating power would be the flavor with the highest frequency/shortest wavelength. Those are the waves we call "gamma rays". A moment's thought will remind you that X-rays are more penetrating than ultraviolet rays are ... otherwise we'd be getting dental ultraviolets instead of dental X-rays.
What are the effects of microwaves on the human body?
There are no microwaves left in the food after cooking. Stopping a microwave oven is like shutting off a light - the microwaves disappear. As to the effect upon the body if exposed to microwaves, all they can do is heat the body. But that takes a lot more microwave power than you would be exposed to by a leaking microwave oven. Even if you could be exposed to that large amount of microwave power, you would feel yourself getting warm and when it became uncomfortable you would get out of the microwave field with no injury. I have exposed my hand to very high power microwaves, equivalent to about ten times what is inside a high power domestic oven, and it feels just as I described above. Since I did this over 40 years ago and still have both hands and all my fingers I can testify to what I described above.
Why are microwaves not used for communicating with submarines?
Microwaves would be a great way to communicate with submarines, but they'd have to surface to use that method of connecting. Surfacing would defeat the purpose of having the submarine out there, and could easily expose it to detection. We do use radio to communicate with submarines, but not microwaves. Microwave energy has a very limited ability to penetrate water. Very low frequencies can penetrate water to a certain extent, though. And that's why we don't bother with microwaves for submarine communication.
What are negotation skills?
I would say that they are the ability of a person to see the relative perspective of both sides of an argument with the additional ability to see a path to guide them to an agreement both sides can live with.

What type of professions would study microwaves?
The radiologist
What would you do for a penetrating injury to the eye?
You don't pull out the object that is penetrating the eye. Stabilize it if you can.
Where would you place microwaves on the electromagnetic spectrum?
Microwaves would be found below infrared radiation, which is below visible light. They'd be at the top of what is called the radio spectrum.
Where would one shop for a sale for microwaves?
Microwaves that are on sale can be found at most major electrical dealers such as Curry's and Comet. On the internet microwaves can be found at Amazon or eBay usually at sale prices.
Why aren't microwaves used to heat homes?
Microwaves are usually tuned to heat the water in things. We are mostly water and would be cooked.
What happens if world didn't have microwaves?
They would use stove.
How are microwaves affected by air glass and water?
This depends upon the particular frequency of the microwaves. Your microwave oven uses microwaves that are tuned to the exact resonance frequency of the water molecule, therefore they are absorbed by water and cause it to get hotter. Other frequencies would tend to pass through water. Similarly, microwaves normally pass through both air and glass, although there are some frequencies that would be absorbed by glass. Air is transparent to all frequencies of microwaves.
Which microwaves are the safest?
Well i relaly would not worry about your microwave poisioning your food of some type. 99% of Microwaves sold in stores are 100% safe and you have nothing to worry about
This isn't one of those microwaves that catch on fire is it?
GE is a world leading brand and would recall any microwaves that were prone to catch on fire, there are no known issues with this model that would lead one to believe it would unexpectedly catch on fire.
