    Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic wave between radio waves and infrared in the EM spectrum. They have long wavelengths and low frequencies. Microwaves are used for satellite communication by transmitting signals from antennas to satellites and back, terrestrial communication in technologies like cell phones, cooking by agitating water molecules in food to generate heat, and radar to detect objects like aircraft and ships by determining their range, angle, or velocity.

    What is MICROWAVES?

    + Microwaves is a type of electromagnetic


    waves in the EM spectrum. This wave is in between
    radiowaves and infrared. It is the second
    electromagnetic wave that has long wavelength and
    also low frequency. This type of EM wave is being
    used in industry’s today.
    USES AND APPLICATION
    OF MICROWAVES

    + Microwaves have four importantant


    uses today and that are:
    + 1. SATELLITE COMMUNICATION
    + 2. TERRESTRIAL
    COMMUNICATION
    + 3. COOKING
    + 4. RADAR
    1.SATELLITE
    COMMUNICATION

    + Microwaves is used in satellite


    communication because it can penetrate the
    Earth’s atmosphere. Microwave’s signals Are
    transmitted by an antenna To a satellite which
    amplifies and retransmits the signals to an
    antenna in other parts of the world. This Is how
    we communicate Even from afar.
    2. TERRESTRIAL
    COMMUNICATION
    +
    + A cellphone is a Radio transmitter
    and receiver that uses microwaves. Cellular
    Phones depend On overlapping network Of
    cells. Each cells has each tower that
    recieves and sends each microwaves signal.
    3. COOKING

    + The microwaves in a microwave


    oven penetrate and agitate the water
    molecules within the food.Thus, they
    create molecular friction which produces
    heat that will cook the food.
    4. RADAR (Radio
    Detection and Ranging)

    + Is a detection system used to


    determine the range, angle or velocity of
    objects. It can be used to detect aircrafts,
    ships.
