In this episode of "The Short Answer," presented by ScienceABC, we explore a curious and potentially hazardous kitchen scenario: "What If a Microwave Oven Develops a Hole?". Join us as we dive into the science behind microwave ovens, understanding how they work, and what could happen if there's a breach in their structure. We’ll cover the fundamentals of microwaves as electromagnetic waves, how they heat food, and the implications of microwave leakage. Could a hole in your microwave really interfere with your WiFi or harm your health? Tune in to find out all you need to know about this unconventional yet fascinating topic.
