About this microwave oven
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 only cause water
molecules in food to vibrate. This vibration produces heat that cooks the
food. This is why your food will come out of the microwave piping hot,
when your utensils inside the oven stay much cooler. The microwaves do
not stay in the air or in the food when you open the microwave oven door.
The microwave oven will work using an ordinary household electrical
socket. Inside the microwave oven is the magnetron, which turns the
electrical energy into microwaves.
Microwaves cannot go through metal, so the inside of the oven is lined
with metal. The door is lined with a fine metal mesh which stops
microwaves getting through. This means that when the microwave oven
door is shut, there is no possibility that microwaves can be released. This is
why the microwave oven has been made so that it will not work when the
door is open.
