Microwave ovens do not cause cancer when used properly. They cook food by agitating water molecules, producing heat, and do not emit ionizing radiation, which is the type linked to cancer. Concerns about cancer risk often stem from improper use or damaged appliances, which can lead to exposure to radiation. However, when maintained and operated according to the manufacturer's guidelines, microwave ovens are considered safe.
What else can I help you with?
How much radiation does a microwave give off what And can this be dangerous?
A microwave releases only micro waves. It doesn't release any harmful radiation. The only harm a microwave can cause is if you put certain items that can make it explode (like a lava lamp, dont try that please).
What are sound waves called?
Sound waves are called mechanical waves cause they need a material medium for their flow. Not only are they mechanical, but compression & lonqitudinal. -Apex:)
Do radio waves need medium to travel?
light waves do not need a medium. Electromagnetic Waves (EM) do not need a medium. For example visible light, radio waves, microwaves, UV light and x-rays do not. These travel @ 300 million meters/sec in a vacuum.
Can you get cancer when your standing in front of a turned on microwave?
No, the radio waves in a microwave are shielded and weak enough that it won't hurt you.
Could not be answered using scientific method?
How do waves cause erosion
How does an oven in aircraft works?
Aircraft ovens are either micro-waves or halogen 'combi' ovens. They work exactly the same way as they do on the ground.
What can Skin cancer cause?
UV waves found in sunlight can cause skin cancer.
Waves that in large doses can cause skin cancer and cataracts?
Ultraviolet
What are two examples of how EM waves are used in everday life?
EM waves are used in everyday life through technologies like cell phones, which use radio waves for communication. Another example is in microwave ovens, which use microwaves to heat food quickly and efficiently.
Do microwaves cause any harm?
Microwaves cause radiation, which causes skin cancer...
Can vibrators cause vaganal cancer?
no. The waves that vibrators give off are totally harmless
How do microwave ovens heat up food and what is the mechanism behind it?
Microwave ovens heat up food by emitting electromagnetic waves called microwaves. These waves cause water molecules in the food to vibrate rapidly, generating heat through friction. This process heats up the food quickly and evenly.
Does a phone cause cancer?
No. There is concern that the radio frequency waves can cause tumors of the neck and brain, but there has been no conclusive research.
How radio waves harmful?
Radio waves are harmful to people because they give off radiation. Radiation is known to cause cancer in humans.
What type of rays do cellphones and ovens use?
They use electromagnetic waves. cellphones use radio waves while electric and microwave ovens use infrared and/or microwaves
How do sound waves escape microwave ovens?
I think it is to do with the wavelenght of the sound waves. I think there are tiny holes in the microwave and the sound waves are small enough to escape out of the microwave - meanig we can hear our food cook!
What are the three electromagnetic waves in the home?
micro waves, gamma rays, and heat waves
