Microwave Frequency Range
A range of electromagnetic waves that are longer than infrared radiation but shorter than radio waves are referred to as microwave frequencies. In general, the microwave frequency range is between one gigahertz (GHz) and three gigahertz, or between thirty centimeters and one millimeter in wavelength. This frequency range is a part of the larger electromagnetic wave spectrum, which also includes microwaves, radio waves, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, gamma rays, infrared radiation, and visible light.
