Electromagnetic Waves

  1. The condition under which a microwave oven heats up a food item containing water molecules most efficiently is​​
    1. ​the frequency of the microwaves has no relation with natural frequency of water molecules.
    2. ​microwaves are heat waves, so always produce heating.
    3. ​infra-red waves produce heating in a microwave oven.
    4. the frequency of the microwaves must match the resonant frequency of the water molecules.
Correct Option: D

Required condition : Frequency of microwaves = Resonant frequency of water molecules.
