Give a reason to show that microwaves are better signals for long transmission than radiowaves.

Answer

Since, microwaves have smaller wavelength as compared to radiowaves they can be transmitted as a beam signal in a particular direction much better than radiowaves. Microwaves do not bend around the corners of any obstacle in between their path.
