A microwave oven produces microwaves that can heat food.
Can we consider the electromagnetic energy leaving the magnetron and traveling in the waveguide virtual photons and when the electromagnetic energy leaves the waveguide the electromagnetic energy "becomes" real photons? Or are they "real" once produced in the magnetron?
Thanks for any help!
