Microwaves are a type of infrared wave.

Recorded sources
0 sources for · 4 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that microwaves are a type of infrared wave?

No. Multiple reference and peer-reviewed sources place microwaves and infrared in separate, adjacent regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, with microwaves having longer wavelengths than infrared. They therefore contradict the claim that microwaves are a type of infrared wave.
