MICROWAVE What form of electromagnetic radiation does it use?

Describe the frequency and wavelength range of this type of electromagnetic wave.

Using the information above and details from your research, write a paragraph of five sentences or more explaining how the device uses the behavior and characteristics of the electromagnetic wave to function. Remember the writing tips from the lesson, and use facts and details to explain your topic sentence.
You must include citations for all reliable sources used. Include citations from three or more reliable sources.

Microwave is used to heat the food and uses a different form of electromagnetic radiation. The form of electromagnetic radiation used in microwaves are radio waves and infrared radiation.

The frequency of such electromagnetic waves is 2,450 megahertz (2.45 gigahertz) and the wavelength range is approximately of 30 cm (frequency = 1 GHz) to 1 mm (300 GHz).

Microwaves or electromagnetic radiation produced by a magnetron, an electron tube in the microwave. The cavity of the magnetron cavity magnetron produces electromagnetic waves defined wavelength. Electromagnetic radiation strikes within the metals in the microwave and is absorbed by food. Electromagnetic radiation allows the vibration of water molecules in the food and makes the food hot.

Describe the device and its function.

A microwave has electro-magnetic waves. A microwave also heats up and cooks food.

What form of electro-magnetic radiation does it use?

They use infrared radiation.

Describe the frequency and wavelength range of this type of electro-magnetic wave.

Their frequencies are between 300 mhz and 300 ghz. A microwaves wavelength is around 30 centimeters.

Using the information above and details from your research, write a paragraph of five sentences or more explaining how the device uses the behavior and characteristics of the electro-magnetic wave to function.

The microwave heats up food and also cooks it. The form of the electro-magnetic radiation they use is “infrared”. A microwaves wavelength is also around 30 centimeters. Their frequencies run between 300 mhz and 300 ghz. Microwaves use the radiation as heat and power to warm their surroundings such as food placed in microwaves. A microwave can also be found right in your kitchen. Microwaves can heat up about almost everything, even metal. That is also the reason why you should not place any silverware in a microwave, because it can create an electrical current, causing it to explode out of control.
