When liquid water is heated most of the energy that the water initially absorbs is used to do?
It is used to raise the temperature of the water.
Can microwaves give you cancer?
No, there is no scientific documented evidence that microwaves give you cancer.
Why does the human body absorb microwaves?
LEAD ABSORBS MICROWAVESSorry, but lead really doesn't effectively absorb microwaves - it is primarily reflective with only a trivial amount of "absorption". The term "absorption isn't quite quite correct - it really should be "attenuation" i.e. the microwaves are attenuated - lose their energy which can then be converted to heat - as they penetrate into a material. In that sense, water is a good microwave absorber, as are moist foods generally.In a broad sense, all materials are either primarily reflectors of the microwaves - such as aluminum; transparent to them - such as glass, paper or many plastics at lower temperatures; absorbers or attenuators - such as water, tea, moist foods, polar solvents such as nitrobenzene. However, all materials will exhibit all three properties but to a different extent - aluminum primarily reflects microwaves, but they do penetrate to a very tiny amount referred to as the skin-depth and so can caused a trivial amount of heat.
On the electromagnetic spectrum microwaves are located between infrared waves and radio waves. Which is true for microwaves?
That means that both the frequency and the wavelength of microwaves are also between those of infrared and radio waves.
Are microwaves harmful?
Yes they are.
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 substance absorbs microwaves?
Water Molecules in the food
What chemical in food absorbs energy from microwaves?
Water molecules
When matter absorbs heat what is its temperature?
thee temperature goes higher because when it absorbs heat,the temperature goes hotter :)
What effects will absorbed microwaves have on a gel ball?
nothing
How does carpet absorb energy from a ball?
Carpet absorbs energy from a ball because the carpet absorbs more kinetic energy. The energy that is absorbed doesn't allow the ball to bounce.
If a surface absorbs insolation its temperature?
increases
Does the Ozone elevate the temperature of the planet?
Ozone is a greenhouse gas. It absorbs radiation and increases the temperature.
How do ocean temperatures affect temperature on land?
The water absorbs heat and keeps gives the temperature a consistency.
What absorbs and radiates energy with the least amount of temperature change?
Neutronium
Why does the temperature of soil increase quickly?
because soil absorbs the sun
What happens when water absorbs an IR photon?
The temperature of water increase.
