Imagine trying to explain to someone living even as recently as the the 17th century that you could use type of invisible light to make the water in your food boil without any visible source of heat, thus cooking it in place. They’d think you were either a witch or had gone insane.
Light may serve well as a 17th century explanation or approximation of what microwaves are. But just to clarify: they are radio waves with no particles. And not only is there no source of heat visible, there literally isn’t one in the device. The heat emanates from the water in the food itself.
Maybe I’ve forgotten my high school physics, but radio waves and light are still all EMF, right? They’re the exact same thing at different frequencies?
