Mikrofalach

Mikrofalach, often referred to as microwaves, are a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths ranging from about one meter to one millimeter. Their frequencies fall between those of radio waves and infrared radiation, typically spanning from 300 MHz (0.3 GHz) to 300 GHz. This range of frequencies grants microwaves unique properties that make them useful in a variety of applications.

One of the most common uses of microwaves is in microwave ovens. These appliances utilize microwaves to heat food by causing water molecules within the food to vibrate, generating heat through dielectric heating. Another significant application is in telecommunications, including radar systems, satellite communication, and mobile phone networks. The ability of microwaves to penetrate the atmosphere and travel long distances with relatively low attenuation makes them ideal for these purposes.

Microwave technology also plays a role in scientific research, such as in spectroscopy and radio astronomy. In industry, microwaves are employed for drying, sterilization, and in various heating processes. While generally considered safe when used within established guidelines, exposure to high-intensity microwaves can potentially cause tissue damage due to their heating effects. Regulations are in place to limit public exposure to microwave radiation.
