A microwave oven cooks using electromagnetic energy waves called microwaves. These waves cause water molecules in the food to vibrate and generate heat, cooking the food quickly and efficiently.

Infrared equals radio sound wave?

No. Sound waves are compression waves and driven by kinetic energy. Light waves are electromagnetic waves and can also be treated as streams of tiny packets of energy called photons.


Do waves carry mass?

As a first approximation, they usually don't. However, since they carry energy, according to the equivalence of mass and energy, that means they also carry a tiny amount of mass.


What is the tiny section of medium energy waves from the EM spectrum that the Human eye can detect called?

It is called visible light.


What device uses sound waves and transforms them into mechanical energy to make recordings?

Sound waves are transformed into mechanical energy to make recordings by the use of a phonograph. The earliest recording devices of this type were hollow cylinders with tiny holes in them.


How is acoustic energy generated?

Acoustic energy is generated by vibrating air. The vibrating air produces sound waves which are picked up by tiny hairs the human ear, and processed by the brain.


How do sound waves escape microwave ovens?

I think it is to do with the wavelenght of the sound waves. I think there are tiny holes in the microwave and the sound waves are small enough to escape out of the microwave - meanig we can hear our food cook!


Light energy travels in tiny particles?

Light energy actually travels in waves called electromagnetic waves. These waves consist of electric and magnetic fields that oscillate perpendicular to each other as they move through space. Photons are particles that carry the energy of light, but do not actually travel through space themselves.


What type of energy carries light?

non renewable energy


Name for tiny organisms that are carried by the waves?

Plankton?


What energy can we see?

We can see a tiny portion of electromagnetic waves called photons, or light.


How does a microwave oven use the electomagnetic spectrum?

The standard microwave oven uses only a tiny portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is centered on 2.45 GHz. That's 2.45 gigaHertz or 2,450,000,000 Hertz (cycles per second). Almost all of the energy the unit generates is right at that frequency.


What are the Health and safety hazards when baking a cake?

when putting a cake in the oven and the cake mix is in the oven and if a tiny drop falls the Ytasuiasa (part of a heating in the oven) could start a fire, happy christmas!
