Yes they are. Special EPROM erasers also tend not to be that expensive
but they basically just have flourescent-type blacklights in them.

Much lower actually. Only x-rays and gamma rays have higher frequency
than light. Doesn't necessarily mean microwaves couldn't erase an EPROM
though - I've never heard one way or the other. It would probably cause
some sparking on the pins too. Arcing is supposed to be bad for the
microwave oven, not sure why.
