Manmade sources include radar, radio, television, telecommunication links and car phones.CONVERSION CHARTSIn a microwave oven,electricity is convertedinto microwave by theMAGNETRON.REFLECTIONThe microwavesbounce off the metalwalls and the metaldoor screen.TRANSMISSIONThen they pass through thecooking containers to beabsorbed by the watermolecules in the food, allfoods contain water to amore or lesser extent.ABSORPTIONThe microwaves cause the water molecules tovibrate which causes FRICTION, i.e. HEAT. Thisheat then cooks the food. Microwaves are alsoattracted to fat and sugar particles, and foods high inthese will cook more quickly. Microwaves can onlypenetrate to a depth of 4-5cm and as heat spreadsthrough the food by conduction, just as in a traditionaloven, the food cooks from the outside inwards.WEIGHT MEASURES15 g 1/2 oz.25 g 1 oz.50 g 2 oz.100 g 4 oz.175 g 6 oz.225 g 8 oz.450 g 1 lb.HOW MICROWAVES COOK FOODMicrowave oven is a Group 2 ISM equipment in which radio frequency energy is intentionally generated andused in the form of electromagnetic radiation for the treatment of material.
