What are Microwaves

Actually microwaves are nothing but electromagnetic waves, and they are called as microwaves because the wavelength of microwaves is small i.e. Micro, that's why it is known as 'Microwaves'.
Now let's discuss the properties of microwaves-

Properties of Microwaves

1. High Bandwidths (BW) Availability in Microwaves

Microwaves have larger bandwidth (1 gigahertz to 1000 gigahertz) in comparison to the common bands like Medium Wave (MW), Short Wave (SW), and Ultra High Frequency waves (UHF). Therefore more information can be transmitted due to high bandwidth availability in microwave frequencies.

What are Microwaves and their Applications (Uses) in various fields

What are Microwaves (Introduction)

Today we will understand what are different applications of microwaves, but before knowing applications of microwaves, I would like to tell you what are microwave? Microwaves are Electromagnetic Waves (EM) having frequencies in the range from 1 GHz to 1000 GHz.

Watch the Complete Video here-

To give you an idea, it is important to understand that signals from AM radio stations are at 1 MHZ,
And for FM radio stations at 100 MHZ.
Here we are dealing with 1 GHz to 1,000 GHz of range.
These are called as microwaves because the word micro comes from the word tiny (small).
