Microwaves are literally photons. They're waves because of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave%E2%80%93particle_duality#Classical_particle_and_wave_theories_of_l

  In the context of microwave systems, the most relevant information is coming from the waveform function, not the substrate. The densely distributed particles are making small movements in response to its neighboring particle’s ‘tensors’. I think a lot of people think of the laser concept of photons shooting through space, but with masers the waveform and it’s amplification are what make it meaningful.
