The Dude: Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man. Jesus Quintana: Let me tell you something, pendejo. You pull any of your crazy shit with us, you flash a piece out on the lanes, I'll take it away from you, stick it up your ass and pull the fucking trigger 'til it goes click.. The Dude: Jesus. Jesus Quintana: You said it, man.
Microwaves. Â­Not surprisingly, a mÂ­icrowave oven uses microwaves to heat food. Microwaves are a type of wave that are sandwiched between radio waves and infrared radiation on the electromagnetic spectrum. In the case of microwave ovens, the commonly used wave frequency is roughly 2,450 megahertz (2.45 gigahertz). Waves in this frequency range have an interesting property: They're absorbed by water, fats and sugars. Once absorbed, they're converted directly into atomic motion -- heat.
It's that simple. Microwave ovens use high power electromagnetic radiation (radio) at a frequency close to 2.5 GHz to do the job of cooking. Much of the design of the appliance goes into making sure that very little of that radiation is given off, and that it stays inside the cooking chamber where it belongs...Microwaves heat food by sending out waves that cause the water molecules in a food item to vibrate rapidly. this creates an energy that presents itself as heat to cook the food. Ideally, the waves are contained within the microwave because the door is closed as it is turned on, releasing waves and cooking the food.
