[CBSE Marking Scheme 2016]
Detailed Answer :
Microwaves are considered good for radar systems used in aircraft navigation as these waves have shorter wavelength range from $10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}$ to $0.1 \mathrm{~m}$, which makes them suitable for long range communication as high frequencies used to bounce from even smallest aircraft.
