High frequency electromagnetic waves in the same range as early radar systems. A tube called a "cavity magnetron" emits these waves when voltage is applied, and they are funneled into a Faraday cage (shield) built into the metal walls and window grid of the oven. The waves excite certain molecules such as water and heat them.

What kind of energy does a microwave oven use?
A microwave oven uses electricity to generate electromagnetic radiation in the microwave frequency range. This radiation is absorbed by water, fats, and sugars in food, causing them to vibrate and generate heat, which cooks the food.
How does a microwave use waves?
A microwave oven uses electromagnetic waves to heat food by causing water molecules in the food to vibrate and generate heat from friction. These waves are produced by a device called a magnetron and are contained within the microwave oven cavity to effectively heat the food placed inside.
Is cooking food using a microwave oven an example of radiation?
Yes, cooking food in a microwave oven is an example of radiation. Microwave ovens use electromagnetic radiation to heat and cook the food by exciting the water molecules in the food, causing them to vibrate and generate heat.
What kind of rays does a microwave use?
Microwave oven is used to create microwave radiation of suitable freq....
Is there any radioactive material in microwave ovens?
There are no radioactive materials in microwave ovens: they use microwaves to cook food and heat liquids.
Can you heat quiche in microwave oven?
No - you will get food poisoning - do not heat quiche in a microwave oven - use a conventional oven & heat thoroughly
What is the use of microwave oven?
The use of a microwave oven is to cook food or heat it quickly and efficiently using radiation.
A microwave oven is 70 percent efficient if it is supplied with 4000 jouls of electrical energy how much heat is used to actually cooked the food?
A microwave oven does not use heat to cook food like a conventional oven, instead it uses microwaves to cook the food. The microwaves produce the heat inside the food, thereby cooking the food from the inside out.
What kind of energy does a microwave oven use?
A microwave oven uses electricity to generate electromagnetic radiation in the microwave frequency range. This radiation is absorbed by water, fats, and sugars in food, causing them to vibrate and generate heat, which cooks the food.

What can you microwave food in?
I would use a microwave oven, it's a bit risky in a gas oven.
Which is safer a microwave or an oven?
An oven as it does not use radiation to cook food.
Is cooking food using a microwave oven an example of radiation?
Yes, cooking food in a microwave oven is an example of radiation. Microwave ovens use electromagnetic radiation to heat and cook the food by exciting the water molecules in the food, causing them to vibrate and generate heat.
You use the heat from this to cook?
A cooker, an oven a microwave oven, a stove, a fire, a BBQ.
Many people use a microwave oven to what leftover food?
They are used to heat up practically any leftovers. I, for one use my microwave at least once a day, and it's usually to heat up leftovers.
