Microwaves emit microwave radiation, which is a form of non-ionizing radiation. Non-ionizing types of radiation are not very harmful to people in small doses, and they do not cause radiation sickness or cell damage like ionizing forms of radiation.Physicists consider microwaves, and the other non-ionizing forms of radiation, to be low energy electromagnetic radiation.he microwave oven has certainly been the most controversial of all kitchen-related inventions. Much of the concern surrounding the safety of microwaves regards the amount of radiation given off by one. The word radiation is charged with all sorts of connotations for us, living as we do in an age of nuclear energy.
It's that simple. Microwave ovens use high power electromagnetic radiation (radio) at a frequency close to 2.5 GHz to do the job of cooking. Much of the design of the appliance goes into making sure that very little of that radiation is given off, and that it stays inside the cooking chamber where it belongs...Microwaves heat food by sending out waves that cause the water molecules in a food item to vibrate rapidly. this creates an energy that presents itself as heat to cook the food. Ideally, the waves are contained within the microwave because the door is closed as it is turned on, releasing waves and cooking the food.
