Microwaves are a portion or a "band" that are found at the higher frequency end of the spectrum, yet they are commonly distinguished from radio waves due to the technologies used to access them. Different wavelengths of microwaves, grouped into "sub-bands", can provide different information to scientists. Medium-length microwaves, also known as C-band, penetrate through different conditions such as clouds, smoke, dust, snow, and rain to reveal the surface of the Earth. L-band microwaves can also penetrate the canopy cover of forests to measure the soil moisture of rain forests. When buying these waves you are able to use most communication satellites because of C-, X-, and Ku-bands that send signals to a ground station. L-band microwaves can be used for a GPS receiver in your car so with these waves you’ll never get lost again. Future possibilities for your microwaves is the ability to be used in landing systems for airplanes.
Caution: The largest risk is from microwave ovens but when used according to instructions, there is no evidence that there is a health risk to people. In the US, the Fed’s standards limit the amount of radiation that can leak from a microwave oven to a level far below what is able to harm people.
