What else can I help you with?
Where does styrofoam go when melted in the microwave?
It's chemical structure is altered by the microwave and it becomes smoke, it doesn't actually melt in the microwave, it burns.
What type of energy is in the food you eat?
Food energy, which is a type of chemical energy (we can't process just any chemical energy, only certain substances).
If chemical energy can be used to produce kinetic energy what is an example of using chemical energy to produce kinetic energy?
Your car.
What of energy transformations is taking place in the kelp as it carries out photosynthesis?
DSolar energy> Chemical energy
What is the main source of energy used to eat Ex kinetic energy chemical potential etc?
We basically eat food because of the CHEMICAL energy it provides us. Chemical energy is a type of POTENTIAL energy.
How is kinetic energy used in a microwave oven?
Kinetic energy is the mechanical energy (thermal energy) that does the heating/cooking in a microwave oven. The microwaves that the oven generates stimulate chemical bonds in food, and this is the conversion of electromagnetic energy into that heat we mentioned.
What is the energy conversion for microwave?
The type of energy conversion for a microwave is the transformation of electrical energy into light energy. This device works by focusing microwave light on the food inside of it.
What energy transformation occurs in an oven?
The electricity (electromagnetic energy) that drives the microwave oven is routed to the magnetron, which generates the microwave energy. (The electricity and microwave energy are both forms of electromagnetic energy.) The microwaves travel through a waveguide into the cavity (the cooking space) in the oven, and used to excite chemical bonds in the food items. This is a conversion of microwave energy (electromagnetic energy) into the mechanical energy of heat.
A microwave oven converts electrical energy into what energy?
Into microwave electromagnetic radiation.
Is light energy used in a microwave oven?
The microwave energy in a microwave oven is of a much lower frequency than light, but light is electromagnetic energy like the microwave radiation is.
What energy does a microwave have?
heat energy
List some examples of energy conversion?
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity. Wind turbines convert wind energy into electricity. Gasoline engines in cars convert chemical energy into kinetic energy. Photosynthesis in plants converts sunlight into chemical energy.
Does microwave radiation carry a lot of energy?
It can do certainly. In a microwave oven there is enough energy to heat food quickly
Does food in a microwave oven absorb microwaves?
Yes, items in a microwave oven can be said to absorb microwaves. The microwave energy causes what is called dielectric heating, and this activity takes energy from the microwave beam.
What are three types of energy associated with the microwave?
Three types of energy associated with microwaves are electrical energy used to power the microwave, electromagnetic energy emitted by the microwave to heat food, and thermal energy generated in the food as it absorbs the microwaves and heats up.
Is the Panasonic Energy Star approved?
No, this microwave is not energy star approved. In fact, Energy Star does not currently approve/label ANY microwave ovens. However, most microwave ovens of the same size/wattage use comparable amounts of energy, and microwave ovens use substantially less energy than conventional ovens.
What energy is wasted in a microwave?
In a microwave, energy is wasted in the form of heat that escapes from the appliance and does not contribute to heating the food. Additionally, energy can be lost through inefficient conversion of electrical energy into microwave radiation, as well as losses in the components of the microwave itself.
