What part of the electromagnetic spectrum is used in ovens?
In a microwave oven, we find that microwave energy (from the microwave portion of the electromagnetic spectrum) are used. In a conventional oven, gas or electricity is used to create infrared heat, so we find infrared radiation (from the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, which is just below the visible light or optical portion) used there. If the oven happens to be a combination microwave and conventional, we'll find both types of electromagnetic waves generated for use inside.
What kind of rays does a microwave use?
Microwave oven is used to create microwave radiation of suitable freq....
How Does the EM radiation plays significant roles in our life and why?
For example:* We use visible light to see * We use microwave radiation in a microwave oven * We use various types of electromagnetic waves for communication * The Sun's energy comes to us, mainly via EM radiation.
What form of energy do you use when you use an oven?
An oven uses heat energy. The fuel depends on what type of oven you are using. It could be heated by electricity, gas, coal, wood or charcoal.
What type of heat transfer does a blow dryer use?
radiation
What type of em radiation do conventional ovens use?
infrared radiation ;)<3
Which is safer a microwave or an oven?
An oven as it does not use radiation to cook food.
Can you heat quiche in microwave oven?
No - you will get food poisoning - do not heat quiche in a microwave oven - use a conventional oven & heat thoroughly
What is the use of microwave oven?
The use of a microwave oven is to cook food or heat it quickly and efficiently using radiation.
What does ovenproof mean?
Ovenproof refers to dishes that you can use in a conventional home oven.
Can Pyrex casserole dishes be used in a portable halogen oven?
Yes, any oven ware you would use in a conventional oven can be used in a portable halogen oven.
Can you use vision ware to bake in the conventional oven?
You can use it depending on the material of the vision ware.
Is it best to cook roast potatoes in a fan oven or a conventional oven?
You can do this in either a conventional or a convection oven. If you use a conventional oven, I would rotate the roasting pan half way through the cooking process to compensate for any hot spots in the oven. If you use a convection oven (with the fan), cooking is more even because the fan blows the hot air around the food, but you have to remember to reduce cooking temperatures 50 degrees if you leave the convection function on.
When to use convention heat cooking?
Conventional ovens use fans to circulate air or radiation from oven walls to allow more heat to be transferred around the food. These should be used for foods with longer cooking times at higher temperatures.
Can you use Pyrex glass bowls in a convection oven?
Yes, Pyrex can be used in the microwave as well as conventional oven.
What part of the electromagnetic spectrum is used in ovens?
In a microwave oven, we find that microwave energy (from the microwave portion of the electromagnetic spectrum) are used.

Why does a microwave use less energy than a conventional oven?
Microwave takes less time to cook
