2. Microwave - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave

   A telecommunications tower with a variety of dish antennas for microwave relay links on Frazier Peak, Ventura County, California. The apertures of the dishes are covered by plastic sheets (radomes) to keep out moisture. Microwave is a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths shorter than other radio waves but longer than infrared waves.

3. Electromagnetic spectrum - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum

   The electromagnetic spectrum is the full range of electromagnetic radiation, organized by frequency or wavelength. The spectrum is divided into separate bands, with different names for the electromagnetic waves within each band. From low to high frequency these are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and ...

4. Microwave transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_transmission

   Microwave transmission is the transmission of information by electromagnetic waves with wavelengths in the microwave frequency range of 300 MHz to 300 GHz (1 m - 1 mm wavelength) of the electromagnetic spectrum. Microwave signals are normally limited to the line of sight, so long-distance transmission using these signals requires a series of ...

5. Microwave oven - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_oven

   Globally. A microwave oven or simply microwave is an electric oven that heats and cooks food by exposing it to electromagnetic radiation in the microwave frequency range. [1] This induces polar molecules in the food to vibrate [2] and produce thermal energy in a process known as dielectric heating. Microwave ovens heat foods quickly and ...

6. Electromagnetic radiation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation

   Classically, electromagnetic radiation consists of electromagnetic waves, which are synchronized oscillations of electric and magnetic fields. In a vacuum, electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light, commonly denoted c. There, depending on the frequency of oscillation, different wavelengths of electromagnetic spectrum are produced.

7. Electromagnetic absorption by water - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_absorption...

   The absorption (equivalent to dielectric loss) is used in microwave ovens to heat food that contains water molecules. A frequency of 2.45 GHz, wavelength 122 mm, is commonly used. Radiocommunication at GHz frequencies is very difficult in fresh waters and even more so in salt waters. [11]
