The frequency of a 12.24 cm microwave oven is – 2.450 GHz.
Microwave ovens have 3 main parts – microwave generator, waveguide, and an applicator. Specific microwave frequencies are used for heating applications.
Usually, the microwaves or the hyper-frequency waves constitute 300 MHz to 300 GHz range of the Electromagnetic spectrum. This covers a broad region of the spectrum. 2 most common frequencies used in microwave ovens are 0.915 GHz (32.78 cm) and 2.450 GHz (12.24 cm).
The 0.915 GHz is the longer wavelength used in industrial ovens as they have deeper penetration and 2.450 GHz is used in compact household ovens.
