Assertion Microwaves are used in microwave oven for cooking purpose. Reason The frequency of microwaves is from 10^(14) to 10^(17) Hz .

Assertion : Microwaves are heat waves which is used to heat up food in ovens. Reason : In ovens, microwaves heat up the vessel first and food inside gets heated up by the transfer of energy from the vessel.

Assertion : Microwaves are better carrier of signals than optical waves Reason : Microwaves move faster than optical waves.

Microwaves are reflected from a distant airplane approaching a stationary observer. It is found that when the reflected waves beat against the waves radiating from the source, the beat frequency is 900 Hz. Calculate the approach speed of the airplane if the wavelength of the microwave is 0.1 H. Velocity of microwave is 3 xx 10^(8)" m/s".
