Do you know what you're talking about?
Microwaves... defined by wavelength... do not have the.... energy?
How about a 100 MeV microwave signal? It doesn't ionize atoms (again, depends on wavelength
), you should feel safe if there was one by your bed when you are sleeping, right?
PS: When you are talking about microwaves or RF or IR, you are talking about wavelength, then energy.
