What type of simple machine a microwave has?

A microwave oven, or a microwave, is a kitchen appliances that cooks or heats food by dielectric heating. This is accomplished by using microwave radiation to heat water and other polarized molecules within the food. This excitation is fairly uniform, leading to food being adequately heated throughout (except in thick objects), a feature not seen in any other heating technique.Basic microwave ovens heat food quickly and efficiently, but do not brown or bake food in the way conventional ovens do. This makes them unsuitable for cooking certain foods, or to achieve certain effects. Additional kinds of heat sources can be added to microwave packaging, or into combination microwave ovens, to add these additional effects.Microwaving food raises several safety issues, but also reduces certain risks, such as that of fire from high temperature heat sources.


How does the wavelength of waves used in the microwave ovens compare with the wavelength of waves used for radar?

The wavelength used in the microwave oven is about 12 centimeters. (rounded) In the early days, there were radar systems that used wavelengths longer than that, but there haven't been any for several decades now.

Is the Panasonic Energy Star approved?

No, this microwave is not energy star approved. In fact, Energy Star does not currently approve/label ANY microwave ovens. However, most microwave ovens of the same size/wattage use comparable amounts of energy, and microwave ovens use substantially less energy than conventional ovens.


Do any microwave ovens offer a delayed cooking feature?

All microwave ovens have timers, and computer based cooking programs. Panasonic and GE have Auto/Delay programs.

If radium and chlorine combine to form radium chloride what is true about the compound?

As radium is radioactive, radium chloride would also be radioactive. Any compounds make with any radioactive material are radioactive, and they cannot be "not" radioactive. Radioactive material doesn't really care if it is "alone" or in compound; it will be radioactive in any case.


Is China made in England in 1972 microwave safe?

The simple answer is yes. The more detailed answer is no. Any serving plate (your 1972 English china for example) made before the invention of the microwave oven is not microwave safe. They simple did not have the technology or foresite to incorporate microwave safe material in the plates. So please DO NOT put any product made before 1979 (the first year that commercial microwave ovens were sold) into the microwave. They will, at best, crack and, at worst, explode.


What is the average frequency of a microwave?

"Microwave" radiation is any radio wave at frequencies between 3 GHz and 300 GHz. Microwave cooking ovens are licensed to operate at a certain definite frequency, just like any other radio transmitter is. For microwave ovens in the US, the frequency is 2.450 GHz.


What is dangers of microwave radiations?

microwave radiations are invisible radiations and it can be harmfull in some cases. microwaves are detected with specific dectectors. High density can be harmfull and can make you sterlile and blind. For your safety use dectectors when repairing microwave ovens or any microwave generator.


Where is radioactive material?

There is radioactive material in any country that has done nuclear tests. In The United States of America there were many tests. These were mostly in Nevada. If you were to get clearance to go to the test site you would see the craters everywhere.


Does a microwave oven have a illness attach to it?

No. Microwave ovens cannot cause or transmit any illness. However, when purchasing or using any 2nd hand appliance, it is wise to clean and disinfect it thoroughly to insure it is sanitary for cooking purposes.
