How can microwaves cook food and have no effect on other certain substances such as paper?
Microwaves basically work by acting on the molecules like water that absorb radiation, vibrate and 'cook' the food due to an induced energy. Dry paper and other substances that do not have molecules that are energised significantly to induce heat are therefore not affected.
How do microwaves affect the water?
microwaves vibrate water molecules in food to create heat
What are microwaves attracted to in foods?
water molecules.
What layer of the atmosphere is most affected by flourocarbons?
The ozone layer is most affected. It contains the pool of ozone molecules.
What substance absorbs microwaves?
Water Molecules in the food
How microwaves cook food?
the microwave makes the water molecules in the food move and bump around this causes friction in the food to be cooked.
What is the layer of earths atmosphere most affected by the suns ultraviolet waves?
Ozone layer is most affected. It is a pool of ozone molecules.
What chemical in food absorbs energy from microwaves?
Water molecules
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 ubstance in the food absorbs the microwaves?
Water molecules in the food. Microwaves work by only vibrating the water molecules, in order to increase the temperature of the food without significantly altering the properties of the food itself.
What are the properties of water molecules that enables microwaves?
This question is probably asking about microwave ovens. Water molecules have a net dipole moment, and microwave radiation causes them to rotate as the dipoles interact with the electromagnetic field. This increased motion of the water molecules translates into heat as they bump into other molecules and each other. Other polar molecules such as proteins are also affected in a similar way.
