Microwave oven acts on the principle of :
Option 1)
transferring electrons from lower to higher energy levels in water molecule |
Option 2)
giving rotational energy to water molecules |
Option 3)
giving vibrational energy to water molecules |
Option 4)
giving translational energy to water molecules |
As we learnt in
photon -
A packet or bundle of energy is called a photon
-
Microwave energy is absorbed by electron in lower energy orbit to get excited in to higher energy orbit in water molecule.
Option 1)
transferring electrons from lower to higher energy levels in water molecule
This is the correct option.
Option 2)
giving rotational energy to water molecules
This is incorrect option.
Option 3)
giving vibrational energy to water molecules
This is incorrect option.
Option 4)
giving translational energy to water molecules
This is incorrect option.
