Why Microwave is called a microwave?
A microwave oven is called a 'microwave' because that is the type of radio wave it uses to induce heat. An RF wave with a frequency between 300 MHz and 300 GHz is considered a microwave. Microwave ovens typically operate around 1-2 GHz. It is always surprising as to why they are called micro waves when their frequency is in Giga range. Its because, their wavelength is in micron range.
What does a microwave convert electrical energy into?
Electricity is converted into the electromagnetic wave called a microwave.
What is a microwave beam generator called?
magnetron

What is the fear of microwaves called?
Radiophobia is the fear of ionizing radiation, and is most commonly portrayed as a fear of X-Ray devices, but it can also apply to other devices that produce radiation (such as a microwave oven) . Cyberphobia is the fear of technology such as computers, and computer controlled devices (such as a microwave oven). Beyond that, there isn't a specific, named phobia, that describes only the fear microwaves and substances that have been microwaved.
