Resource summary
MICROWAVE OVEN
Interior
Electronic vaccum tube
Produces short radio waves
Microwaves travel through a wave guide
After wave guide they go to a fan-like device that scatters the waves
Fan like device is called, stirrer
Waves bounce from wall to wall
Eventually they enter the food
Called microwaves
Called magnetron
Molecular Structure
All foods contain a water molecule
Act as tiny magnets
The molecules are pulled back and forth by the magnetic field created by the microwaves
This back and forth motion occurs two and a half billion times a second
The rapid vibration causes friction between water molecules
The friction creates heat
Water molecules are dipolar
Dipolar means they have a positive charge on one end and a negative charge on the opposite end
Rotating microwaves create a magnetic field
