Best Answer

A klystron, magnetron or travelling-wave tube will generate microwaves. So will a vircator and an inductive output tube. These are just some of the vacuum tubes used to generate microwaves. In a microwave oven, the magnetron, which is a type of cavity resonator, is the device of choice.

Is a cathode ray tube in a microwave oven?

No, a microwave oven does not contain a cathode ray tube. A cathode ray tube (CRT) is what is in a conventional television set.The microwave oven has a magnetron in it. The magnetron is a type of cavity resonator, and it is this electronic component that generated the microwaves that heat food items.
