Microwaves are matter. Everything you can see, touch, smell, hear, or taste w/o the help of instuments are matter. Mcrowaves do emit a small of radioactive particles though, namely alpha. Alpha particles can't even pass through your clothes though and they won't harm you.

Are microwaves matter?
no, because microwaves do not take up space
How do microwaves interact with matter?
Because it takes up space, and anythign that has mass in it is matter.
Is Microwaves a form of electromagnetic energy?
No, they form Radiation Energy
What is the most familiar form electromagnetic energy?
Microwaves because we use them everyday
Are microwaves a form of light?
There is no good answer. Energy per wave goes up as frequency. But you can get cooked by light, and microwaves can warm you pleasantly, or not affect you at all.

Is there copper in microwaves?
No, microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiationand like all electromagnetic radiation is composed of massless particles called photons or is waves depending on how it is measured.Copper is a metal.

How must microwaves interact with matter if they cause food and most containers to heat in a microwave oven?
Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic energy, which means that they are waves that travel through space that transmit energy from a source to the object with which they will interact, such as food. Other well-known's forms of electromagnetic energy are light, TV, radio, x-rays and more. When these microwaves enter into food, for example, they effect the behavior of molecules such as water and are able to translate their energy into the energy of the water molecules, thereby raising their energy state, which then gets transformed into heat. The big advantage of microwaves when heating things is that, in contrast to ordinary heat which eats an object from the outside, microwave can heat both the outside and the inside simultaneously. But it is critical to understand that microwaves are a form of energy, not a form of heat. It is this energy which creates heat through its interaction with the food.
Do any microwaves use light to help cook?
Microwaves use radiation to cook food and radiation is a form of light. They do not use actual light bulbs to cook though.
How many edges did microwave have?
Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation. They are sinusoidal curves and have no edges.
