Is the microwave waves harmful to humans?

Microwave radiation can be harmful to humans if exposure is at high levels. Using microwave ovens for cooking is safe as they are designed to prevent leakage of radiation. It is important to use microwave ovens properly and ensure they are in good working condition to minimize any potential risks.


Which microwave ovens output the least amount of dangerous rays?

A new microwave having a label stating that is meets FDA standards for minimal radiation leakage is the safe choice and will leak the least amount of microwave radiation. You can also protect yourself by not leaning against a microwave while it's operating, and not using a microwave with a door that does not close firmly.


Which type of devices includes any point source that emits radiation without actively dispersing radioactive material across an area?

Devices that include any point source that emits radiation without actively dispersing radioactive material across an area are considered sealed radiation sources. These sources are contained within a sealed container or device, preventing the spread of radioactive material.


How does the wavelength of waves used in the microwave ovens compare with the wavelength of waves used for radar?

The wavelength used in the microwave oven is about 12 centimeters. (rounded) In the early days, there were radar systems that used wavelengths longer than that, but there haven't been any for several decades now.


What type of device includes any point source that emits radiation without actively dispersing radioactive material across an area?

A point source device that emits radiation without actively dispersing radioactive material across an area is commonly referred to as a sealed radiation source. Such sources are contained within a sealed casing or structure that prevents the escape of radioactive material.

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.


Do any microwave ovens offer a delayed cooking feature?

All microwave ovens have timers, and computer based cooking programs. Panasonic and GE have Auto/Delay programs.

Is China made in England in 1972 microwave safe?

The simple answer is yes. The more detailed answer is no. Any serving plate (your 1972 English china for example) made before the invention of the microwave oven is not microwave safe. They simple did not have the technology or foresite to incorporate microwave safe material in the plates. So please DO NOT put any product made before 1979 (the first year that commercial microwave ovens were sold) into the microwave. They will, at best, crack and, at worst, explode.


What is the average frequency of a microwave?

"Microwave" radiation is any radio wave at frequencies between 3 GHz and 300 GHz. Microwave cooking ovens are licensed to operate at a certain definite frequency, just like any other radio transmitter is. For microwave ovens in the US, the frequency is 2.450 GHz.


Did russia ban microwave ovens?

No, Russia has not banned microwave ovens. While there have been discussions about the health implications of microwave radiation, such appliances remain widely used in Russian households. Any rumors about a ban may stem from misinformation or confusion regarding regulations on food safety and appliance standards.

What is dangers of microwave radiations?

microwave radiations are invisible radiations and it can be harmfull in some cases. microwaves are detected with specific dectectors. High density can be harmfull and can make you sterlile and blind. For your safety use dectectors when repairing microwave ovens or any microwave generator.


What is defreent between radioactve and nuclear material?

Radioactive material refers to substances that emit radiation spontaneously, while nuclear material is any material that can undergo nuclear reactions such as fission or fusion. Essentially, all radioactive material is nuclear material, but not all nuclear material is necessarily radioactive.


Does a microwave oven have a illness attach to it?

No. Microwave ovens cannot cause or transmit any illness. However, when purchasing or using any 2nd hand appliance, it is wise to clean and disinfect it thoroughly to insure it is sanitary for cooking purposes.


Where is radioactive material?

There is radioactive material in any country that has done nuclear tests. In The United States of America there were many tests. These were mostly in Nevada. If you were to get clearance to go to the test site you would see the craters everywhere.


If radium and chlorine combine to form radium chloride what is true about the compound?

As radium is radioactive, radium chloride would also be radioactive. Any compounds make with any radioactive material are radioactive, and they cannot be "not" radioactive. Radioactive material doesn't really care if it is "alone" or in compound; it will be radioactive in any case.
