Microwave
Storyboard Text
- Yes, we do. But, we don't have a microwave here. They say that it's too dangerous.
- Hey, man. I'm starving. I want to eat something hot today. Is there any leftovers in your fridge that I can heat in your microwave?
- Wait, am I wrong?
- Yes, you got it wrong. Microwave radiation conducted in a microwave oven heats food the same way it heats body tissue. Microwaves are a form of "electromagnetic" radiation. They are waves of electrical and magnetic energy moving together through space. Electromagnetic radiation spans a broad spectrum from very long radio waves to very short gamma rays.
- The human eye can only detect a small portion of this spectrum called visible light. A radio detects a different portion of the spectrum, and an X-ray machine uses yet another portion. The same wave generated in the microwave oven is also used in satellite communications. To date, no adverse health effects from low level, long-term exposure to radiofrequency or power frequency fields have been confirmed, but scientists are actively continuing to research this area. So, it's safe to say that we're safe, but we should always be careful in microwave.
- I see. Well, let's go to the mall. We have a microwave oven to buy.
- Nah, let's just heat the leftovers in a pan.
