Microwaves produce electromagnetic energy, specifically in the microwave frequency range. This energy is used to heat food quickly and efficiently by causing water molecules within the food to vibrate, generating heat energy in the process.

What happens in a microwave?

A microwave is simply an instrument for producing microwaves ( these are similar to that of infra-red and radio waves), these microwaves that are produced in the microwave itself has the same wavelength of water and allows water molecules to vibrate. The increase in energy of these water molecules (the kinetic energy) can then be transfered (as energy is never created or destroyed) into heat energy. Therefore heating up the food/drink or what ever you are placing in the microwave, this is essentially how it works.
