Question

"Comparing microwaves and visible light, which of the following is true? 1. Microwaves have higher frequency, same speed, and longer wavelength than visible light. 2. Microwaves have lower frequency, same speed, and longer wavelength than visible light. 3. Microwaves have lower frequency, slower speed, and longer wavelength than visible light. 4. Microwaves have lower frequency, faster speed, and shorter wavelength than visible light."

Answer 1

Answer:

2. Microwaves have lower frequency, same speed, and longer wavelength than visible light.

Explanation:

Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation. Most people are familiar with this type of waves because they are used in microwave ovens. When compared to visible light, microwaves have lower frequency, same speed and longer wavelength than visible light. The prefix "micro" is used to indicate that microwaves are smaller (shorter wavelengths) than radio waves.
