Microwaves produce heat like those in your own microwave, hence the name. Ultraviolet Rays are chemical rays for example, those that come from the sun. Infrared waves detect heat emitted from other heat sources such as people, like in certain guns that can track people by their body temperature. X-Rays are high speed collisions between electrons that go through skin but not bone allowing us to use it for medical reasons. ^_^
