Question

In the microwave oven, we use electromagnetic oscillators which produce electromagnetic waves in the wavelength range.


  1. 1mmto10m

  2. 0.7μmto1mm

  3. 1mto1mm

  4. 0.1μmto0.7μm

Open in App
Solution

The correct option is C

1mto1mm


Explanation for correct option:

Microwaves:

  1. Microwave is a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths ranging from about one meter to one millimeter corresponding to frequencies between 300 MHz and 300 GHz respectively.
  2. Their frequencies (and wavelengths) fall between 300MHzand300GHz(orλ=1mtoλ=1mm).
  3. Microwave ovens at home or in restaurants run at frequencies of roughly 2.45GHz,orλ=12.23cm, in accordance with international norms.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).
