How does the Microwave work?
Microwaves are a form of high frequency radio waves similar
to those used by a radio including AM, FM and CB. They
are, however, much shorter than radio waves; approximately
five inches in length. Electricity is converted into microwave
energy by the magnetron tube. From the magnetron tube,
microwave energy is transmitted to the oven cavity where it is:
reflected, transmitted and absorbed.
1. Reflection
They will REFLECT off metal. The inner walls of your oven
are made...
