How do microwave ovens use electromagnetic waves to cook food? (1 point)%0D%0AResponses

Answer 1

Microwave ovens use electromagnetic waves, specifically microwaves, to cook food by agitating water molecules within the food. When the microwave oven is turned on, it generates microwaves through a component called a magnetron. These microwaves penetrate the food and cause water molecules to vibrate rapidly, producing heat through friction. This heat then cooks the food evenly and quickly.
