A microwave oven converts electrical energy into what energy?

Into microwave electromagnetic radiation.


When a microwave oven timer beeps to what kind of energy has electricity been changed into?

The electromagnetic energy (electricity) the oven operates on is being converted into mechanical (sound) energy when the timer beeps.


Does food in a microwave oven absorb microwaves?

Yes, items in a microwave oven can be said to absorb microwaves. The microwave energy causes what is called dielectric heating, and this activity takes energy from the microwave beam.


What energy changes occur in a microwave oven?

In a microwave oven, electrical energy is converted into microwave radiation. This radiation excites water molecules in the food, causing them to vibrate and generate heat through friction. This heat then cooks the food.


Is a microwave oven an example of electromagnetic energy?

Yes


Microwave is an example of what kind of energy transformation?

The microwave oven uses electrical energy to generate microwaves, which are a form of electromagnetic radiation. When the microwaves enter the food, they transfer their energy to the water molecules inside the food, causing them to vibrate and generate heat. This transformation is an example of electrical energy being converted into electromagnetic energy and then into thermal energy.
