*How Microwave Ovens Work* A microwave oven uses non-ionizing radiation, called microwaves, to heat and cook food. Here's a simplified explanation of the working principle: 1. *Magnetron*: The microwave oven produces microwaves using a magnetron, which converts electrical energy into microwave energy. 2. *Waveguide*: The microwaves are directed into a waveguide, which distributes them evenly throughout the cooking chamber. 3. *Cooking Chamber*: The microwaves penetrate the food, causing water mo
