microwave oven

A microwave oven is a household appliance used in the kitchen to heat food by generating electromagnetic waves.

The microwave depends on 2 parts. A Magnetron that is in charge of emitting these small waves (microwaves) of high frequency, and then a resonance box that allows the formation of a standing wave (all microwaves rotate and return several times to the same place); it also prevents them from going everywhere.

how it works

It works by converting electrical energy into electromagnetic energy. Thanks to the high-frequency waves it generates, these affect the food liquid (at the molecular level) causing it to increase its temperature.

Since the metal would reflect the waves that constantly collide inside the furnace

do not put metal in the microwave

Door with metal grille serves to close and open the microwave oven.

Power supply this is where the microwave is supplied with energy

Magnetron the magnetron transforms electrical energy into electromagnetic energy in a microwaves

Ventilator the ventilator distributes the hot air throughout the microwave oven.
