Recently my wife expressed concerns that our microwave is unsafe and I’m too ignorant to know why she is wrong. Please explain why microwaves are safe to use.
In: Technology
The microwaves and the high voltages used to generate them cannot escape the box. They cannot go through metal, and the window is a fine metal grid with holes too small for them.
Microwaves only heat the food. They do not damage it in the way that gamma radiation does. It can do nothing heating food cannot do.
