A2. The fine mesh printed on the glass is to prevent microwaves escaping throughthe glass and damaging your eye when you look in.
The wavelength of a microwave cooker is around 120mm, and any mesh smaller than 1/4 wavelength will do the job of blocking the radiation - about 1/20 of a wavelength is a good safe target.

What are the dangers of microwave radiation?
In general, microwaves are harmful if they are very powerful and concentrated. All of our ordinary microwave-emitting devices are perfectly safe to use because they are very low power. A microwave oven doesn't release enough of the energy to cause harm when the door is properly closed - hence, a microwave that functions with a door open could be potentially harmful. Very powerful microwaves are harmful because they cause burns. Microwave radiation, despite popular claims, does not cause cancer or any other illness associated with exposure to ionizing radiation. Microwaves from cell phones, for example, are not powerful and concentrated enough to cause harm. In themselves, other than high power exposure - several kilowatts - that's many more times than what is inside an operating microwave oven, microwaves are not dangerous. However, injuries can occur from overheated foods - burns, scalds, eruptions and fires.
What is the difference between a regular microwave and convection microwave ovens?
The difference is in the features. A regular microwave only features the normal microwave functions. However, a convection microwave oven also has a built-in convection oven in it.
What will happen if you turn on a microwave with nothing in it?
the microwave will get really hot
Why does your microwave oven go on whenever door is opened?
There is a switch in the door, when the switch is activated the light comes on, not the microwave itself. Additionally the switch actually prevents the microwave from activating (while the door is open).
What will block micromaves?
A microwave door.
Why is it important that the walls and door of a microwave oven reflect the microwave radiation?
reflects
A microwave leak detector can be used to check what?
Leakage of microwave radiation past the door seal in a microwave oven.
is this mocrowave safe for children, does the door need to be closed for it to be operated?
Unless the child manages to get inside the microwave and turn it on, it is safe for children. And, yes, the microwave door needs be shut for the microwave to operate.
Why can microwave radiation be used to detoxify trichloromethane but not tetrachloromethane?

Why is your microwave working when you open it?
The door switch is faulty.
Does it required to close the food for heating in microwave?
Microwave ovens should not be used if the door will not close tightly. Most microwave ovens will not turn on without the door locking. The door has shielding in the glass to keep stray microwaves within the oven and not going into the room or the person operating the oven.
On what part do you look on a microwave to see how many watts it has?
To determine the wattage of a microwave, look for a label or sticker on the back or inside the microwave's door. The wattage is usually mentioned in terms of "W" or "Watts" and may range from 600W to 1500W or more.
What will happen if a microwave is opened while it is heating something?
Nothing because the microwave does not work when thy door is open.
Do i damage my microwave oven by opening it while its operating?
Absolutely not. When you open the door of your microwave oven it causes safety switches to shut off all the microwave power. Then, when you close the door, the switches are reset and the microwave power is ready to be energized as soon as you push the on button so you can resume cooking.
How is a magnet useful to a microwave?
to help latch the door closed
