Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths ranging from one millimeter to one meter, lying between radio waves and infrared light on the electromagnetic spectrum. They are widely used in various applications, including communication, radar, and cooking, thanks to their ability to penetrate materials and heat food quickly.
The most common household use of microwaves is in Microwave Ovens, which cook food by agitating water molecules, generating heat. This technology has revolutionized meal preparation, making it faster and more convenient for people around the world, while also being energy-efficient compared to traditional cooking methods.
