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.
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).
Sound waves are called mechanical waves cause they need a material medium for their flow. Not only are they mechanical, but compression & lonqitudinal. -Apex:)
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.
No, the radio waves in a microwave are shielded and weak enough that it won't hurt you.
How do waves cause erosion
Aircraft ovens are either micro-waves or halogen 'combi' ovens. They work exactly the same way as they do on the ground.
UV waves found in sunlight can cause skin cancer.
Ultraviolet
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.
Microwaves cause radiation, which causes skin cancer...
no. The waves that vibrators give off are totally harmless
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.
No. There is concern that the radio frequency waves can cause tumors of the neck and brain, but there has been no conclusive research.
Radio waves are harmful to people because they give off radiation. Radiation is known to cause cancer in humans.
They use electromagnetic waves. cellphones use radio waves while electric and microwave ovens use infrared and/or microwaves
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!
micro waves, gamma rays, and heat waves
