Question
Microwave ovens are a fast and efficient way to cook or heat food. How do microwave ovens use electromagnetic waves to heat food
A microwave ovens transform electrical energy into thermal energy which is carried by an electromagnetic wave and heats the food.
B microwave ovens transform energy from electromagnetic waves into thermal energy which is then transferred to atoms in the food
C microwave ovens produce visible light waves which reflet off the surface of the food and cause thermal energy to build inside the food
D microwave ovens emit electromagnetics waves which are absorbed by molecules in the food causing them to vibrate and produce thermal energy

The correct answer is:
**D**. Microwave ovens emit electromagnetic waves which are absorbed by molecules in the food, causing them to vibrate and produce thermal energy.
Microwave ovens primarily use microwaves, a type of electromagnetic radiation, to heat food. These microwaves excite water molecules in the food, causing them to vibrate more rapidly, which generates heat and cooks the food.
