Is there UV in microwave ovens?
No.
How does food get crispy in the microwave?
Things like hot pockets and microwave pizzas use what is called a susceptor (usually in the form of a sleeve or container). These susceptors convert microwave energy into heat, which help crisp up food in the microwave, countering the effects of sogginess that is synonymous with microwave ovens. For more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susceptor
What heat transfer uses electromagnetic waves to increase thermal energy?
Microwave Radiation is Very Effectively absorbed by Water molecules, this results in the increased thermal agitation of the Water molecules that absorb the Mw radiation - as found in Microwave ovens.
Is there radon in microwave ovens?
No, radon is a naturally occurring radioactive element present in materials containing uranium and thorium (both of which are also radioactive). The most likely source of radon in a building is granite, either in the bedrock underground, in granite countertops and tabletops, granite fireplaces, etc. A microwave cooker is made of metal and plastics and contains no radioactive materials.
Can a microwave be plugged into an extension cord?
Yes, as long as the extension cord is rated for the load. Most microwave ovens use 1000W or more, some less. A standard two wire extension cord would be unsafe. There are, however, extension cords which have the proper gauge of wire and the necessary 3-prong outlets which a microwave would need to operate safely.
What does microwave stands for?
Microwaves are wavelengths of light that are shorter than radio waves, but longer than infrared light waves. The wavelength range is 1 meter to 1mm. One particular wavelength is optimum for being absorbed by water, and this is what "microwave ovens" are tuned to produce. This is 2.45 GHz, which is about 12.2cm wavelength.
Do foods take longer to cook in larger microwave ovens with 950 watts of power?
No foods actually cook quicker in Microwave ovens with 950 watts or more
Which uses less energy conventional ovens or microwave ovens?
Microwave Ovens
Were microwave ovens banned in Japan?
No, microwave ovens are extremely popular in Japan.
How does the microwave expose your food to electric currents?
Microwave ovens don't expose food to electric currents, they expose food to microwaves. Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic radiation, or a type of light. The only difference between visible light and microwaves is the wavelength of the light. Wavelength is what makes blue light look different from red light (red light is made of physically longer waves). Microwaves are much shorter than visible light and have much higher energy. That energy is used to heat up the water molecules in the food you put in the microwave. That's how it heats up your food.
Do microwave ovens use electromagnetic radiation?
Yes, microwave ovens use electromagnetic radiation.
Why is light radio waves and microwave ovens related?
Light waves, radio waves, and microwaves are all on the electromagnetic spectrum.
What are some features of cheap microwave ovens?
Some features of cheap microwave ovens are that they can cook things at very high temperatures and some newer microwave ovens even have a convection feaure on them.
Is there UV in microwave ovens?
No.
Are microwave ovens made in a standard length?
No, microwave ovens don't have a standard length. They come in different sizes.
Is there any radioactive material in microwave ovens?
There are no radioactive materials in microwave ovens: they use microwaves to cook food and heat liquids.
Many people use microwave ovens to cook their food. Which option is best described as an engineering endeavor related to microwave ovens?
Researching the way people use microwave ovens to determine how to improve their design
