AI Thread Summary
Ants are often reported to be immune to microwaves, leading to speculation about their resistance. The discussion suggests that their small size may allow them to avoid the standing waves in a microwave, but this is questioned since water molecules, which are smaller, do heat up. It is noted that microwaves create hot and cold spots, which is why turntables are used to ensure even heating. If ants are in a cold spot during operation, they may escape harm, but in a properly functioning microwave, they would likely be cooked. The actual reason for their perceived immunity remains unclear, but the mechanics of microwave heating play a significant role.

I've read many stories of ants being inmune to microwave, and also of coakroches being very resistive to X-rays and heavy radiation. My first thought was that ants have little water content, but that doesn't sound right because most animal have plenty of water. So instead I maybe wondered that because ants are smaller than the standing waves, it 'skips' the ant. But again, this doesn't sound right because water molecules are definitely smaller and get heated up by the waves. So anybody knows the actual reason?

the microwaves in the owen are standing waves. as a result, some sections are heated and others are not. This is why you have a turn table, it is to ensure that all the food passes through the hot section. If you have ever placed food in a microwave with a broken turntable, you will notice there are sections of hot and cold. I suspect that the turn table was removed or otherwise not working. This would allow certain ants that start out in a cold spot to stay in the cold spot while the microwave was in operation (ants can sense heat) but if the ants were placed in a fully working microwave, they would sadly be roasted.
 
I would like to use a pentaprism with some amount of magnification. The pentaprism will be used to reflect a real image at 90 degrees angle but I also want the reflected image to appear larger. The distance between the prism and the real image is about 70cm. The pentaprism has two reflecting sides (surfaces) with mirrored coating and two refracting sides. I understand that one of the four sides needs to be curved (spherical curvature) to achieve the magnification effect. But which of the...
