3. What is the effect of the microwave radiation on the sample?
Microwaves coming into the cavity are reflected on the walls and repeatedly bounce before passing into the product, this phenomenon usually happening over thousand times in a domestic oven, increasing areflection mode that avoids the wave’s orientation into the sample.
