प्रश्न
In a microwave oven, the food is kept in a plastic container and the microwaves is directed towards the food. The food is cooked without melting or igniting the plastic container. Explain.
उत्तर
The natural frequency of water matches the frequency of microwave. This is the reason that food containing water gets cooked. The natural frequency of the plastic container does not match the frequency of microwave. So, the plastic container is not damaged.
