Not the waves, but the cooking device. I am curious how the radiation is generated, and why it stays inside the microwave (the outside doesn't get hot).
How does a microwave oven generate and contain radiation for cooking?
AI Thread Summary
Microwave ovens generate radiation using a component called a magnetron, which produces high-frequency electromagnetic waves. These waves are contained within the oven due to its design, which includes metal walls that reflect the radiation and prevent it from escaping. As a result, the exterior of the microwave remains cool while the interior heats food. This containment is essential for safe operation and effective cooking. Understanding these mechanisms clarifies how microwave ovens function efficiently.
Planck length is ~ 1.6\times 10^{-35} meters. Does this mean that this may be a lower limit on meaningful wavelength and therefore upper limit on energy?
Hello togehter,
I am new to this forum and hope this post followed all the guidelines here (I tried to summarized my issue as clean as possible, two pictures are attached). I would appreciate every help:
I am doing research on a Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system. For this I want to set a simple math model for the system. I hope you can help me out. Regarding this I have 2 main Questions.
1. I am trying to find a math model which is describing what is happening in a simple Particle...
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...
