According to the Microwaves page, Microwaves are 300MHz-300GHz. I think that it would be good for wikipedia to be self-consistent in its naming convention for different parts of the Electromagnetic spectrum. Including a table of references for different conventions (if necessary to help researchers, etc... navigate different conventions) might be a good idea, if the historical evolution of EM naming conventions has been such.

I was looking into microwave photons today, and found this article by an astrophysicist/professor (Brian Koberlein), written in everyday language. Just how big is a photon. It might be helpful to anyone looking into the topic. ("It’s a bit odd to think of a microwave photon as being larger than a baseball, but it is a simple way to explain how mesh reflectors work."
The image being shown with this article (today) is *really* helpful in visualizing how radio 'photons' are generated. One 'microwave photon' is *much* lower in energy than a light photon, so *many more* of them are needed to deliver the same energy. (More on that here, discussing microwave ovens.)
A much more 2008 technical article here titled "Generating Single Microwave Photons in a Circuit" describes an interesting application. Twang ( talk) 22:43, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
The animation is a bit much, as its large and distracting from readability. - Inowen ( nlfte) 08:46, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
Someone edited the article claiming original invention of radio devices by an indian scientist, instead of Marconi, without providing any source. 191.106.200.16 ( talk) 00:40, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
