In order from highest to lowest energy, the sections of the EM spectrum are named: gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infrared radiation, and radio waves. Microwaves (like the ones used in microwave ovens) are a subsection of the radio wave segment of the EM spectrum.
As it stands the question makes no sense. Energy per what? Per week? Per square metre? Per banana? (Per photon, presumably, but the bloody question omits that.)
Whereas if you'd asked about wavelength or frequency your question would have been complete.

Well that killed that straight away, before I could even offer a prize with the physicist of your choice.
Deletesorry, and I wasn't even sure. Maybe my memory isn't that bad after all!
ReplyDeleteCould I choose an evening with ada please?
I have this:

Ada eh? Consider it done!

ReplyDeleteHow about Death Rays, the Mekons used them on Dan Dare didn't they?
Treens.
DeleteThere was( is?) only one Mekon.
Bloody brilliant comic.
Energy per what?
ReplyDeleteLike asking which element is heaviest.
Nits I pick.
