Does glass allow microwaves to pass through them?

Yes, microwaves will pass through plain glass.


Can microwaves in a microwave oven pass through a material?

Yes, microwaves inside of a microwave oven do indeed pass through a material - for example - a glass casserole dish or other cooking vessel - to reach the food inside the vessel to begin the cooking process. The microwaves also pass through paper, plastic and similar materials - that is why one can cook with such materials in a microwave oven. Microwaves however do not pass through metal objects, but rather often cause arching in a microwave oven, and thus can not be used in a microwave oven. Properly working microwave ovens do not allow the microwaves to pass from inside the oven to the outside world.


Does a wireless signal pass through water?

In general, microwaves will not pass through water. They have little ability to penetrate this substance.

radio and tv beams can pass through concrete as x-rays pass through the body


How are microwaves affected by air glass and water?

This depends upon the particular frequency of the microwaves. Your microwave oven uses microwaves that are tuned to the exact resonance frequency of the water molecule, therefore they are absorbed by water and cause it to get hotter. Other frequencies would tend to pass through water. Similarly, microwaves normally pass through both air and glass, although there are some frequencies that would be absorbed by glass. Air is transparent to all frequencies of microwaves.


Do gas pass through the walls of the alveoli by respiration?

Yes.


Do oxygen and carbon dioxide pass through the walls of the trachea?

No.


Do drugs pass through the walls of the stomach and into the blood stream?

yes Actually, 'yes' is not the correct answer. Drugs, just as food, 'pass' through the walls of the small intestines into the blood stream.


What does the ionosphere do to microwaves?

To oversimplify it, the ionosphere either reflect microwaves or allows it to pass through depending upon its frequency, the threshold is approximately 100MHz. Anything below that gets reflected anything higher passes through.


Microwaves will not pass through this?

Microwaves can cook any food in a dish unless the dish is made out of some kind of metal. The rays that a microwave produce can not penetrate anything that is metal.


What is the method through which a man can pass throgh walls?

Why microwaves do not come out through the small holes in the door of a microwave oven?

The dimensions of the holes are less than half the wavelength of the microwaves. Most microwaves operate at 2.5 GHz making the wavelength about 1cm. Half of that is 0.5 cm. Any hole small than this will not allow the wave to pass through.
