Microwaves

Microwaves are an essential kitchen gadget in households and are used on a daily basis. They are convenient as they are quick and effective for heating food in minutes. However, you may have noticed that at times the center of your food is still cold or that the outside of your food is hot but the inside is still frozen. This phenomenon can be explained by the physics of microwaves. Waves are produced in the microwaves that transfer heat to the food. Every wave has an amplitude and when the waves hit the x-axis, the amplitude of the wave is zero. Furthermore, if the amplitude of a specific waves hit zero in the center of the microwave then heat will not be transferred to the center where the food is placed. As a result, the physcis of microwaves demonstrates reasoning of why the center of the food will remain cold.
