Can microwaves in a microwave oven pass through a material?
Yes, microwaves inside of a microwave oven do indeed pass through a material - for example - a glass casserole dish or other cooking vessel - to reach the food inside the vessel to begin the cooking process. The microwaves also pass through paper, plastic and similar materials - that is why one can cook with such materials in a microwave oven. Microwaves however do not pass through metal objects, but rather often cause arching in a microwave oven, and thus can not be used in a microwave oven. Properly working microwave ovens do not allow the microwaves to pass from inside the oven to the outside world.
What does the microwave do?
the microwave heats cold stuff up!it microwaves food from other nights
What objects emit microwaves?
There seem to be no recorded stars that are strictly producing microwave wavelengths but it seems that some starts can flare up emitting long durations of microwave wavelengths. So microwaves seem to be simply a byproduct of a star's life rather then something it regular emits.
Are there microwave manufacturers that also manufacture other kitchen appliances?
Kenmore does microwaves and fridges and dishwashers. anonymous@oola.com
What can you microwave?
You can Microwave any non living thing that stores water to heat it up. Microwaves vibrate water molecules to heat up your food. There is small moisture stored in popcorn kernels and this causes them to explode when the moisture under higher pressure is expanding. Metal and other foreign objects are not safe to use in the microwave and you can not use the microwave with nothing in it because it will over heat the parts and break it.
Does the microwave come in any other colors?
Whirlpool makes similar microwaves in white, black, and biscuit colors, and also has other stainless steel designs.
are there any codes to input in the microwave like other microwaves?
Yes, there are many preset cooking options such as popping popcorn and defrosting chicken.
What is Microwave Technology?
Terrestrial microwave technologies share with satellite microwave technologies many of the scientific and technical improvements used to accomplish microwave transmissions. They are different in that satellite microwave technolgies seek to neutralize the effects of the atmosphere in the microwave transmissions. On the other hand, terrestrial micowave technologies seek the aid of atmospheric effects on microwaves to extend the range limitations imposed by the Earth's curvature. Examples of these terrestrial technologies include those used to exploit troposcattering and meteor-burst in microwave communications--not used at all in satellites. Professor Martinez
Are Emerson Microwave made in the U.S.A.?
The Emerson microwaves available at my local K-Mart Store are all made in China. So are all of the other brands, except that the Kenmore brand microwaves indicate that they are assembled in China.
Are microwaves dangerous to humans?
As long as it hasn't been damaged in any way and is taken care of, a microwave can be used for many years - my own parents are using both a standard microwave and a combination microwave/conventional oven that they've owned since 1982. The main health hazards with microwaves are to people with pacemakers and similar type medical implants - not all microwaves are taken care of the same.
Do microwaves from mobile phones have a longer or shorter wavelength than those used in a microwave oven?
Its a really bad idea to put your mobile phone in the microwave. I'm sure there are other fun things to do to pass the time
What is the difference between infrared waves and microwaves?
Microwaves are electromagnetic waves that occur on the EMR (Electromagnetic Radiation) scale above radio/tv waves and below infrared and visible light waves. They are used in cooking devices (microwave oven) and as carrier waves for cell phone and other communication devices. In other words, a "microwave" is a type of electromagnetic radiation (like visible light waves, tv waves and so on), and a "microwave oven" is a cooking device that uses microwaves to heat foods by stimulation of the water molecule.
