energy to the walls of
the oven to heat the
inner area.

water molecules in
food to vibrate and
produce heat.
The waves heat the air
inside the oven enough
to cook the food.
The waves strike the
surface of food,
increasing its
temperature.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: The waves cause water molecules in food to vibrate and produce heat.

Microwave ovens use electromagnetic waves, specifically microwaves, to excite the water molecules in food. This vibration generates heat, which cooks the food from the inside out.
