A Moment of Science
Have you heard the phrase, "Let's nuke it in the microwave!" Well, Nuclear power and microwaves really don't have much in common.
When the microwaves hit the front of an oncoming car, some of them are reflected back into the radar gun.
Picture the large microwaves as a slinky, bouncing around in your microwave oven: the slinky isn’t about to fit through the little holes in the door.
Besides preventing the microwaves from reaching and heating up the food it conceals, aluminum foil tends to give off sparks that might start a fire.
Microwaves are low energy electromagnetic waves that have so little energy they can’t trigger chemical reactions in the molecules they encounter.
