Paraphrasing the Wikipedia entry for the magnetron, we learn that,
... a stream of electrons passes by the openings to metal cavity resonators and causes microwaves to oscillate within, similar to the way a whistle produces a tone when excited by an air stream blown past its opening. The resonant frequency is determined by the cavities' physical dimensions.

I once wondered if a microwave oven magnetron might make a good transmitter, for CW for EME.
I took a spectrum analyser and antenna to the kitchen and microwaved a glass of water, and I saw...
The most awful collection of strong tones, covering a large part of 2.4 to 2.5 GHz, all of them shifting up and down in frequency, rising and falling, as the water ...

I'm sorry if this answer doesn't answer your literal questions – it's just that these questions aren't strictly answerable.
it is commonly known that electromagnetic radiation from an antenna is polarized; the electric field is parallel to the rod and the magnetic component is perpendicular to it.
It is commonly known that antennas come in more shapes than ...
