no it doesn't give you radiation because in most microwaves there is a lead layer on the outside so it will stop the radiation. just like if you have ever gotten a x ray the nurses or doctors go into a room that has a layer of lead so the radiation wont effect them.

What is more dangerous high frequency radiation or low frequency radiation?
heya. Okay so I had the same question for a sheet i had to do in my physics lesson.The harm done to humans by EM radiation depends on the intensity and wavelength of the radiation.high frequency radiation has more potential to damage human DNA than longer wavelengths (Low frequency). That's why UV radiation tends to promote skin cancer while visible light has no known tendency to do so. Short-wavelength radiation can also carry more energy than long-wavelength radiation of the same intensity.Long-wavelength radiation is more known for its tendency to cause human tissue to heat up, which can cause death more quickly than short-wavelength radiation. Microwave energy is one example of this; fairly high-intensity microwaves are used to heat food in a microwave oven.So really high frequency is more dangerous, such as gamma rays :)source: Is_electromagnetic_radiation_harmful_to_humans
Can a microwave light a light bulb?
Of course you can microwave a light bulb, the question is, is it really a smart thing to do.
Does phone really have radiation that is harmful to humans?
Cell phones do emit a type of non-ionizing radiation.
True or false radiation is the only method of energy transfer that can take place in a vacuum?
if there is radiation in the vacuum, then it's not really a vacuum.
What causes the light to stay on in a Whirlpool microwave?
It really depends on the model of your microwave. It's possible that the latch is bad on the door and needing replaced. It would be best to consult a repairman.
What is the difference between microwave and microwave oven?

What is the effect from a radiation?
the radiation can cause the brain damage so it is really hamful.
What does electromagnetic radiation do to the human body?
It Really Depends Really On What EM Radiation It Is , Visible Light Does Nothing , Radio And Microwave Are Relatively Harmless, Too Much Of The Others Can Damage The Human Body On A Massive Scale. It Will Destroy Human Body Cells
Is a microvave bad for you?
Well, when you stand really close to it when it's on, radiation waves are sent out and it can damage your brain, so yeah, I suppose so. And microwave popcorn can be bad sometimes. I forget why though. xB
Can the mobile phone really damage your private part if you have it in your pocket?
No, absolutely not. The phone emits radiation -- but not the bad kind. It emits the same kind of radiation as your flashlight or radio, it's not going to damage anything. The "bad kind" of radiation (ionizing radiation) can damage your "private part", but there's none of it in your phone.
How far should one stand from a Microwave oven that is on?
AnswerI don't think there is any particular distance you should stand away from it but if you really want to for extra safety or something then I'd say 1-2 metres.AnswerI worry a lot about this too. I know it's probably just an old wives' tale, and that standing in front of the microwave probably isn't really dangerous, but still: what bothers me is that smells can escape the microwave. You can smell your food cooking in there. So if smells can escape, then why can't radiation escape, too?

What type of heat transfer occurs when you get a sunburn?
RadiationNot really. Sunburn is not caused by heat at all, but by overexposure to ultra-violet (specifically UV-B) radiation. It causes damage directly to the DNA rather than heat damage to the skin.While the answer 'radiation' is technically correct as UV is a type of radiation, sunburn is not caused by heat transfer at all.
What is the worst thing about radiation?
Well the worst thing about nuclear radiation is when explodes from a nuclear bomb not only the explosion do damage the radiation destroyes molecules get people really sick and kill the that's why it's so dangerous
What will happen if you turn on a microwave with nothing in it?
the microwave will get really hot
Why are nuclear bombs good?
They do major damage, for one thing. However, they cause environmental problems and mass radiation, so i really don't encourage them.
