    Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic radiation with frequencies between 300 MHz and 300 GHz, which are produced by vacuum tube devices that control electron motion with magnetic or electric fields. They have the properties of being reflected by metal, able to pass through glass and plastic, attenuated over short distances, capable of passing through the atmosphere, and traveling in a straight line.

    Microwaves

    By:-Akshara
    What are microwaves?
    o Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic radiation, as are radio waves, ultraviolet
    radiation, X-rays and gamma-rays.

    o Microwaves are produced by vacuum tube devices that operate on the ballistic motion of
    electrons controlled by magnetic or electric fields.

    o They have a frequency ranging between 300 MHz to 300 GHz. In contrast the wavelength
    ranges from 1mm to around 30 cm
    Properties of microwaves
    o They are the radiations capable of radiating electromagnetic energy with shorter wavelengths.

    o Microwaves are reflected by metal surfaces.

    o They can easily pass through glass and plastics.

    o They are easily attenuated within shorter distances.

    o Microwave radiation can pass through the atmosphere.

    o Microwaves travel in a straight line
