Question
Write a short note on the microwave.
Solution
It is produced by electromagnetic oscillators in electric circuits. The wavelength range is 1 x 10-3 m to 3 x 10-1 m and frequency range is 3 x 1011 Hz to 1 x 109 Hz. It obeys reflection and polarization. It is used in radar system for aircraft navigation, speed of the vehicle, microwave oven for cooking and very long-distance wireless communication through satellites.
