Only to a very small depth.
microwave radiation is radiation that comes from microwaves
Ernest Rutherford discovered radiation. Alpha is most harmful is ingested, it cannot penetrate the sign, nor paper or metal or lead, beta is able to penetrate paper and metal, and gamma, the most harmful of the three is able to penetrate paper, metal, lead, and skin. beta can penetrate the skin after a long period of time.
Both microwave radiation and nuclear electromagnetic radiation are members of the same species, but they're as different as babies are from elephants, to wit, microwaves are much, much less powerful than nuclear electromagnetic radiation. Microwave radiation, for instance, makes atoms shift their position (and magnetic fields) very, very quickly. Now the definition of heat is "movement," so the faster anything moves, the "hotter" we say it is. Ergo, something placed in a microwave-radiation-field becomes noticeably "hotter." But comparing microwave and nuclear electromagnetic radiation is like comparing a face-slap to a 20-ton BOMB. Nuclear radiation comes from atomic nuclei, so "nuclear radiation" can strike, penetrate, damage, and even destroy atoms in their path. Big difference, capiche? Huge.We left out the part about nuclear particulate radiation. There is no comparison there. Additionally, nuclear electromagnetic radiation is ionizing radiation while microwave radiation is not.
no it doesn't give you radiation because in most microwaves there is a lead layer on the outside so it will stop the radiation. just like if you have ever gotten a x ray the nurses or doctors go into a room that has a layer of lead so the radiation wont effect them.
Gamma radiation and x-radiation are identical if they both have the same wave length. The only difference between x-radiation and gamma radiation is that gamma radiation is produced by natural processes while x-radiation is man-made. The block of lead will not be able to tell the difference between the two sources and will attenuate both the same.
Gamma rays .It can penetrate several cm of lead.

Actually - children under 12 they should be banned from using mobiles ! There is on-going research into the effects of the microwave radiation given out by mobile phones on the user. Children have thin skulls - allowing the microwave radiation to penetrate deeper into the users brain.

Yes, microwave ovens use electromagnetic radiation.
Microwave is applying microwave radiation to chemical reaction.
cosmic microwave background radiation.
