what are
MICROWAVE?
Microwave is a form of
Microwaves travel by line upside unlike lower
electromagnetic frequency radio waves they don't diffract
radiation with around hills follow the earth surface and
wavelength shorter ground waves are reflect from the ionosphere
than other radio waves so terrestrial microwave communication links
but longer than infrared are limited by the visual horizontal to about 40
waves. miles or 64 km

Microwave Discovery
In 1888, Heinrich Hertz became the first to
demonstrate the existence of such waves by
building an apparatus that produced and detected
microwaves in the ultra high frequency region.
Microwave Discovery Add Info
Microwaves were first generated in the 1890s in some of the earliest radio
wave experiments by physicists who thought of them as a form of
"invisible light". James Clerk Maxwell in his 1873 theory of
electromagnetism, now called Maxwell's equations, had predicted that a
coupled electric field and magnetic field could travel through space as an
electromagnetic wave, and proposed that light consisted of
electromagnetic waves of short wavelength. In 1888, German physicist
Heinrich Hertz was the first to demonstrate the existence of
electromagnetic waves, generating radio waves using a primitive spark
gap radio transmitter.
The prefix micro- in
microwave is not meant
to suggest a wavelength
in the micrometer
range; rather, it
indicates that
microwaves are small
(having shorter
wavelengths),
compared to the radio
waves used in prior
radio technology.
Application Microwaves are used to
of transmit television news
coverage from the mobile
Microwaves broadcast vehicles box to the
station the news group can also
set up the small antenna to
send signals to a
communication satellite this is
how news are broadcasted and
watched live around the world
TERRESTRIAL COMMUNICATION
Application
of
Microwaves
A cell phone is a radiotransmitter and receiver that uses
[Link] phones depend and overlapping network of
cells or areas of land several kilometers in [Link] cell has
its tower that receive the send microwave signals.
Reason why there are use satellite
communication
Communication satellite travel
Application around the earth at an altitude of
35,000 km above the equator they
of move at the speed of 11 300 km per
hour and revolve around the earth
Microwaves every 24 hours.
Microwave signals are transmitted
by an antenna to the satellite which
amplifies and retransmites the
SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS
signal to an antenna in other parts
of the world
Application
of
Microwaves
MICROWAVE OVEN In microwave oven foods
absorb certain microwave
8 frequency very strongly the
microwaves penetrate the
food being heated it will
agitate the water molecules
within the food does creating
molecular friction which can
produce heat that will cook
it.

RADAR
The development of radar mainly insect
receive before and during world war ii
resulted in the technological advances
which made microwaves practical. It was
found that conventional transmission
lines used to carry radio waves had
excessive power losses at microwave
frequency and george southworth and
Bell Labs and wilmer borrow at mit
independently invented waveguide in
1936
what are five uses for microwaves?
Microwaves are a form of nonionizing radiation,
making them safe for commercial, medical, and
household use. Five uses of microwave radiation
include medical imaging technology, GPS
technology, cellphones, Bluetooth devices, and
microwave ovens.
