Can water absorb microwaves?
Yes. That's why microwaves can boil water.
How does microwaves affect your heath?
microwaves heat up tissue, so basically it burns.
How do microwaves affect your body?
It depends on the wavelength, and the intensity. Most microwaves pass through us with no issues. Microwaves used for heating water will heat our tissues, causing damage / death. Microwaves used in older radar guns caused bone cancer when the patrolmen using those guns layed them on their legs between reading vehicle speeds.
How does microwaves harm the body?
Microwaves align polar molecules such as water with the microwaves. This rotation generates energy, which dissipates as heat. So you would be cooked as if you were in a microwave oven.
What substance absorbs microwaves?
Water Molecules in the food

How do batteries affect the microwave?
You don't use batteries in microwaves.
Why aren't microwaves used to heat homes?
Microwaves are usually tuned to heat the water in things. We are mostly water and would be cooked.
What devices commonly affect wireless LANS?
Wireless Phones and Microwaves.
What are microwaves attracted to in foods?
water molecules.
Can you keep a fish bowl on top of a microwave?
Microwaves give off well, microwaves and electromagnetic radiation; the waves may affect your fish's health.
What dangers can microwaves do to humans?
Microwaves work by oscillating at the same frequency as boiling water. This causes the water molecules to heat up. Needless to say, since your body is about 70% water, microwaves can cause tissue damage by heating up and damaging cells.
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.
What two devices commonly affect wireless LANs?
Wireless Phones and Microwaves.
