Microwaves are

  • A.used in radio and television communications
  • B.having frequency range from 54 MHz to 890 MHz
  • C.short wavelength radio waves
  • D.produced by hot bodies and molecules
  • E.absorbed by ordinary glass

Answer: C

Microwaves are short wavelength radio waves.

In the electromagnetic spectrum, microwaves (wavelengths of about 1 mm to 0.1 m, frequencies of roughly 1 to 300 GHz) lie at the short-wavelength end of the radio region. They are used in radar, microwave ovens and satellite links.

The 54 to 890 MHz band and ordinary radio and television broadcasting belong to longer radio waves. Hot bodies and molecular vibrations produce infrared radiation, and ordinary glass absorbs ultraviolet, not microwaves.
