Abstract:Microwaves, in the central portion of the nonionizing spectral region of the electromagnetic spectrum, find use in chemical technology as a power source. Microwaves penetrate macroscopic objects further than other types of nonionizing radiation. Most of the applications of microwave technology are based on heating effects related to the dielectric properties of the various media. Consumer products are limited to microwave ovens which are used for cooking, reheating, and thawing foods.
