What is the difference between am and shortwave?

AM stands for amplitude modulation (the kind used in the am broadcast band and also on the shortwave bands).The shortwave bands begin just a little higher than the top of the am broadcast band and go up to 30000 KHz. The am broadcast band is from 530 to 1700 KHz and shortwave broadcast bands begin about 2000 KHz. The programming on shortwave stations is many types such as cultural,news,science,and just about anything about the country which the station is broadcasting from.Between the shortwave broadcast bands you can also hear amateur radio operators,military,utility stations,radio beacons,pirate broadcasters,radio telephone,aircraft, radio teletype,and lots more.The higher bands (above about 9000KHz) are daytime bands because the signals there propagate around the world in the daytime and the lower bands below about 9000 KHz are nighttime bands and you listen there from about sunset to sunrise.I could go on forever but that is probably about as you want to know about it unless you have ever listened, once you have experienced shortwave listening when conditions are right, you will be hooked on a great hobby.

What is the wavelength of shortwave radiation?

Ultraviolet radiation and shorter waves are consider "shortwave radiation" they begin at about 300 to 350 nm (just past violet in the visible spectrum)


What is the difference between microwaves used to cook food and microwaves used for transmitting information?

No fundamental difference at all. Microwave cooking ovens are assigned their own operating frequency ... 2.45 GHz in the USA ... and they all operate at that frequency, whereas microwave communication goes on in several different frequency bands. Also, the cooking ovens use far more transmitting power to do their job. A typical microwave oven pours 1,000 to 2,000 watts of "cooking power" (RF power) into the chamber where you put the meatloaf, whereas microwave radio links work just fine over distances of 1 to 100 miles with transmitter power between 0.1 watt and 3 watts.


Why Microwave is called a microwave?

A microwave oven is called a 'microwave' because that is the type of radio wave it uses to induce heat. An RF wave with a frequency between 300 MHz and 300 GHz is considered a microwave. Microwave ovens typically operate around 1-2 GHz. It is always surprising as to why they are called micro waves when their frequency is in Giga range. Its because, their wavelength is in micron range.
