    Undergrad Why do microwaves only affect polar molecules if they have lower energy than infrared?

    I read in a book that: Microwaves are considered lower in energy than infrared waves because they do not affect all molecules, only the polar ones. Polar molecules have slightly different electrical charges at their opposite ends, making them more responsive to microwave radiation than...
