I've always wondered how microwaves work, they literally seem like alien tech! 😳 Microwave ovens work by using a magnetron to generate electromagnetic waves, which are then bounced around the metal interior of the oven to heat food. These waves cause polar molecules in food, like water, fat, and sugar, to vibrate themselves with the electric field. This molecular vibration creates heat through friction, effectively cooking the food! science #physics #technology #engineering #food #foodlover | L
