microwaves
Radiation for reheating
Microwaves are electromagnetic waves with wavelengths between radio waves and infrared light.
They're used in radar, telecommunications, and cooking.
A microwave is also the appliance that uses these waves to heat food by agitating water molecules: Just microwave it for two minutes.
The verb means to cook or heat in such an appliance.
