Best Answer

Microwaves are generated at the atomic level, based on the frequency of the EM radiation that it emits. This is conducted through radiation that is absorbed, reflected, attenuated, or refracted.

The microwave generating component of a microwave oven is called a magnetron. The magnetron is actually a vacuum tube (a vacuum diode, actually) that has an associated set of magnets. This tube (the magnetron) is a type of microwave cavity resonator, and it will "ring" electronically at microwave frequencies when it is powered up. The microwaves generated by the tube are coupled out of the cavity of this device and directed via a waveguide into the cavity (the cooking space) of the oven.

How are micro waves produced?

Microwaves are electromagnetic waves with a frequency of about 2.45 GHz and a wavelength of about 12.2 cm; in the electromagnetic spectrum, they fall before infrared light but after radio waves (Heckert 2007). In a microwave oven, microwaves are produced by a device called a magnetron.-Google
