  2. Microwave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave

    A microwave oven passes microwave radiation at a frequency near 2.45 GHz (12 cm) through food, causing dielectric heating primarily by absorption of the energy in water. Microwave ovens became common kitchen appliances in Western countries in the late 1970s, following the development of less expensive cavity magnetrons. Water in the liquid ...

  3. Microwave oven - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_oven

    A microwave oven or simply microwave is an electric oven that heats and cooks food by exposing it to electromagnetic radiation in the microwave frequency range. [1] This induces polar molecules in the food to rotate and produce thermal energy in a process known as dielectric heating.

  4. Dielectric heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric_heating

    A microwave oven uses dielectric heating to cook food.. Dielectric heating, also known as electronic heating, radio frequency heating, and high-frequency heating, is the process in which a radio frequency (RF) alternating electric field, or radio wave or microwave electromagnetic radiation heats a dielectric material.

    "The drier the food, the less likely to be heated by microwave energy," Yousef told the outlet. "Even popcorn has some water inside the kernels. Without that water, it would not pop in the ...

  8. Maser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maser

    The resonant frequency of the microwave cavity is tuned to the frequency of the hyperfine energy transition of hydrogen: 1,420,405,752 hertz. [15] A small fraction of the signal in the microwave cavity is coupled into a coaxial cable and then sent to a coherent radio receiver. The microwave signal coming out of the maser is very weak, a few ...
