REHS- RADIATION STUDY GUIDE TEST. How does a microwave oven work? - CORRECT ANSWER -Uses a magnetron, that converts electrical energy into microwave energy. Wave guide tubes direct microwaves to hit a metal stirrer. This breaks the microwave pattern, which is reflected by metal compartments which forces them to concentrate on food being warmed. The water and fat molecules in food absorb microwaves, which cause them to vibrate. This produces heat. How do you test for potential microwave ove...
