How much radiation does a microwave give off what And can this be dangerous?
A microwave releases only micro waves. It doesn't release any harmful radiation. The only harm a microwave can cause is if you put certain items that can make it explode (like a lava lamp, dont try that please).
What are sound waves called?
Sound waves are called mechanical waves cause they need a material medium for their flow. Not only are they mechanical, but compression & lonqitudinal. -Apex:)
Do radio waves need medium to travel?
light waves do not need a medium. Electromagnetic Waves (EM) do not need a medium. For example visible light, radio waves, microwaves, UV light and x-rays do not. These travel @ 300 million meters/sec in a vacuum.
Can you get cancer when your standing in front of a turned on microwave?
No, the radio waves in a microwave are shielded and weak enough that it won't hurt you.
Could not be answered using scientific method?
How do waves cause erosion
How does an oven in aircraft works?
Aircraft ovens are either micro-waves or halogen 'combi' ovens. They work exactly the same way as they do on the ground.
What can Skin cancer cause?
UV waves found in sunlight can cause skin cancer.
Waves that in large doses can cause skin cancer and cataracts?
Ultraviolet
Do microwaves cause any harm?
Microwaves cause radiation, which causes skin cancer...
What type of wave can cause skin cancer and promotes vitamin D production?
The waves you seek are ultra violet waves.
What type of rays do cellphones and ovens use?
They use electromagnetic waves. cellphones use radio waves while electric and microwave ovens use infrared and/or microwaves
Can vibrators cause vaganal cancer?
no. The waves that vibrators give off are totally harmless
What are facts about electromagnetic waves?
Microwaves are transverse waves like all electromagnetic waves meaning they can be polarised; their wavelengths range from 1 metre to 1 millimetre (1x10-3m). They are basically high frequency radio waves.
Does a phone cause cancer?
No. There is concern that the radio frequency waves can cause tumors of the neck and brain, but there has been no conclusive research.
Why is light radio waves and microwave ovens related?
Light waves, radio waves, and microwaves are all on the electromagnetic spectrum.
How radio waves harmful?
Radio waves are harmful to people because they give off radiation. Radiation is known to cause cancer in humans.
What waves do microwave ovens use?
Microwave ovens cook with several hundred watts of radio waves at a frequency at or near 2.450 GHz (2,450 MHz) / wavelength = 12 cm.
