2. Microwave - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave

   Microwave. A telecommunications tower with a variety of dish antennas for microwave relay links on Frazier Peak, Ventura County, California. The apertures of the dishes are covered by plastic sheets (radomes) to keep out moisture. Microwave is a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths shorter than other radio waves (as originally ...

3. Microwave oven - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_oven

   Manufacturer. Various. Available. Globally. A microwave oven or simply microwave is an electric oven that heats and cooks food by exposing it to electromagnetic radiation in the microwave frequency range. [1] This induces polar molecules in the food to vibrate [2] and produce thermal energy in a process known as dielectric heating.

4. Microwave chemistry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_chemistry

   Microwave chemistry is the science of applying microwave radiation to chemical reactions. [1][2][3][4][5] Microwaves act as high frequency electric fields and will generally heat any material containing mobile electric charges, such as polar molecules in a solvent or conducting ions in a solid. Polar solvents are heated as their component ...

5. Efficient energy use - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efficient_energy_use

   Efficient energy use, or energy efficiency, is the process of reducing the amount of energy required to provide products and services. There are many technologies and methods available that are more energy efficient than conventional systems. For example, insulating a building allows it to use less heating and cooling energy while still ...

6. Cavity magnetron - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavity_magnetron

   The modern magnetron is a fairly efficient device. In a microwave oven, for instance, a 1.1-kilowatt input will generally create about 700 watts of microwave power, an efficiency of around 65%. (The high-voltage and the properties of the cathode determine the power of a magnetron.)

7. Microwave transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_transmission

   Microwave transmission. The atmospheric attenuation of microwaves in dry air with a precipitable water vapor level of 0.001 mm. The downward spikes in the graph corresponds to frequencies at which microwaves are absorbed more strongly, such as by oxygen molecules. Microwave transmission is the transmission of information by electromagnetic ...
