microwave radiation
Oven's invisible energy
Microwave radiation is electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between infrared light and radio waves.
Microwaves heat food by agitating water molecules, hence the kitchen appliance.
They also carry cell phone signals, radar, and satellite communications.
Despite recurring fears, microwave ovens don't make food radioactive or cause cancer at normal exposure levels.
