Definition of Microwave
Microwave is the electromagnetic wave with super high frequency. The wavelength of microwave is 1 m 1 mm. And the frequency of microwave is 300 Mhz 300 Ghz.

The Inventor of Microwave

In 1945, Percy LeBaron Spencer, an engineer and creator of America, busy working at the factory of magnetron, a device that is used to produce the radio microwave signals is an early form of radar. Radar is an important innovation during the war, but the use of microwave to cook the food is by accident.

Application In Our Live

Microwave Oven

Microwave oven is a kitchen appliance that use microwave radiation to cook or heat food.

Microwaves components:

- Magnetron Magnetron is a core part of the microwave oven. Its function is to convert electrical energy into microwave radiation. On the inside of the magnetron, electron that is emitted from a central terminal called the cathode. Positive pole is called the anode surrounds the cathode and attract electrons. During the electrons flow in the oven room, the electrons produce magnetic field wave continuously.

- Waveguide Waveguide is a component that is designed to direct the waves. Waveguide for microwaves can be made from the conductor material.

- Microwave Stirrer Component which resembles a propeller is used to spread the microwave in the microwave oven. Usually, it is combined with a component like a dish that can be played on the bottom. This combination enables the speed of maturity level evenly when cook.

The workings of a microwave oven when an object is heated: Alternating electric current with low potential difference and direct current with high potential difference is converted in the form of direct current. Magnetron use this current to produce microwave with the frequency is 2.45 GHz. Microwave is directed by an antenna on the top of magnetron into a waveguide. Microwave is continued to a device like a fan by waveguide, it is called the Stirrer. Stirrer spreads the microwave inside the oven chamber. Then, this microwave is reflected by the walls of the oven and is absorbed by the molecules of food. Because every wave has a positive and negative component, the molecules of food are pressed forward and backward for 2 times of the microwave's frequency speed, that is 4,9 million times per second.
