  • Page 12 ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE How do microwaves work? Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves similar to radio waves. While radio waves may vary in length from one metre to many kilometres, microwaves are very short (less than 12.5 centimetres.) Microwaves do not make any heat themselves but cause water molecules in food to vibrate.
