Best Answer

A toaster consumes more energy per second than a computer might, but toasters are used only occasionally; a computer could be left on for weeks or months at a time, meaning it uses more energy than a toaster.

Do microwaves or xrays have a higher frequency?

Yes and no, but the answer is more complicated. The energy given off by the heating elements of both a toaster and microwave is electromagnetic energy. A microwave oven is a tuned source of radiation, commonly about 2.45 gigahertz with a wavelength of about 5 inches or a dozen centimeters. A toaster oven puts our radiant energy due to heating of the elements and that is a very broad source of electromagnetic energy. In the most common situation of a household toaster, the energy output is significant in the microwave and infrared (roughly millimeter to meter wavelength). Thus, the heating element of a toaster gives off energy that is both higher and lower in frequency than a microwave. The heating process of a toaster has a significant component that involves the temperature of the air which is increased when the internal surfaces of the toaster absorb the electromagnetic energy. The heating process of a toaster may be more or less a consequence of the heating of the air based on the design of the toaster. A bread toaster is different than a toaster oven in this regard. Finally, it is fair to say that the toaster puts out a significant fraction of its energy infrared part of the spectrum and that part of the toaster's output has a higher frequency than the microwave.


Can you put aluminum foil in a toaster oven?

Yes,Because it will not affect the toaster's heating system.


How do you show examples of thermal energy?

You can take ice cubes and melt them in boiling water You can take a toaster oven and demonstrate how the electricity creates thermal energy You can tak a coffee maker, a microwave, a curling or flat iron and do the same thing as the toaster oven Hope this helped :)


When you turn a toaster oven what happens to the electrical energy?

On turning a toaster oven, electrical energy converts into heat energy. It helps in making toasts.

Is light energy used in a microwave oven?

The microwave energy in a microwave oven is of a much lower frequency than light, but light is electromagnetic energy like the microwave radiation is.


Do you still use a toaster oven?

You will still need it to do certain things a microwave can't.


What energy changes occur in a microwave oven?

We find that in the microwave oven, electromagnetic energy (microwaves) are converted in thermal (heat) energy.
