On the electromagnetic spectrum, microwaves are located between infrared waves and radio waves. Which is true for microwaves?

A)They have a higher frequency than visible light.

B)They have a shorter wavelength than ultraviolet rays.

C)They have a lower frequency than infrared rays.

D)They have a longer wavelength than radio waves.

Electromagnetic wave: In the electromagnetic wave, the electric field and the magnetic field are mutually perpendicular to the direction of the motion of the propagation of the wave.

It can travel in vacuum. It travels with the speed of the light.

Electromagnetic spectrum consists of infrared waves, radio waves, microwave etc. Microwaves are located between infrared waves and radio waves. It is shorter than the radio wave but it is longer than the infrared wave.

Its wavelength lies between 0.001 to 0.3 m. The frequency and the wavelength have an inverse relationship. The frequency range of microwave is from 300 MHz to 300 GHz.

The frequency range of infrared wave is from 430 THz to 300 GHz.

The frequency range of radio wave is from 300 GHz to 30 Hz.

Therefore, the correct option for microwave is (C).
