Question

In a microwave oven, food is heated through the process of ______

  1. Conduction
  2. Radiation
  3. Convection
  4. None

hintHint:

Microwave uses electromagnetic radiation to heat food.

The correct answer is: Radiation


    • Microwaves are the electromagnetic radiation. 
    • When heated the atoms and molecules of water in the food starts vibrating.
    • This results in increased friction between the molecules which results in heat.
    • This heat generated inside the oven is used in cooking and heating the food.
