A microwave oven uses a magnetron? microwave generator to produce microwaves at a frequency of approximately 2.4 GHz for the purpose of cooking food.Put one cup of tolos sa bilat og oten dayon ipasok. Microwaves cook food by causing water molecules to vibrate - heating them, and the rest of the food, up. Since organic life is made up primarily of water food is easily cooked by this method. A maser is a device similar to a laser, except that it works at microwave frequencies. Microwaves are also used in satellite transmissions because this frequency passes easily through the earths atmosphere less interference than higher wavelengths.

Microwaves are electromagnetic waves with a wavelength longer than infrared light, but shorter than radio waves.

Microwaves have wavelengths approximately in the range 200 μm to 30 cm (corresponding to a frequency range of 1 - 1500 GHz). However, the boundaries between far infrared light, microwaves, and ultra-high-frequency radio waves are fairly arbitrary and are used variously between different fields of study.
