EASY
IMPORTANT

What is the wavelength range of visible light ?

EASY
IMPORTANT

The principal of microwave is that if we can heat up the water molecules then they can transfer their heat to the neighbouring food molecules. As most of the food items have water molecules it is easy to cook them. The frequency of the radiation supplied should match with the frequency of rotation of water molecules which is about
