The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided in the context of a microwave oven. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states that in a microwave oven, the energy is not wasted in heating up the vessel. This means that the microwave oven is designed in such a way that it primarily heats the food inside it rather than the container holding the food. 2. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: - The reason states that the principle of the microwave oven is to generate microwave radiation with a magnetron source of appropriate frequency in the workspace of the oven where food is kept. This explains how microwave ovens work by producing microwaves that specifically target the food. 3. **Evaluating the Truth of Assertion (A)**: - The assertion is true because microwave ovens are designed to heat food efficiently by using microwave radiation, which is absorbed by the food and not by the vessel, minimizing energy loss. 4. **Evaluating the Truth of Reason (R)**: - The reason is also true as it accurately describes the working principle of microwave ovens. The magnetron generates microwaves that are of a frequency suitable for heating food. 5. **Determining the Relationship Between A and R**: - Since both the assertion and reason are true, we need to check if the reason correctly explains the assertion. The reason does explain why the energy is not wasted in heating the vessel, as it highlights the mechanism of how microwaves specifically target food. 6. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason provides a correct explanation for the assertion. Therefore, the answer is that both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A. ### Final Answer: Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true, and R is the correct explanation of A. ---

A : When cooking in microwave ovens, metal containers are used. R : Energy of the microwaves can be easily transferred to the food through metal.

Why does microwave oven heats up a food item containing water molecules most efficiently?

Assertion : Microwaves are heat waves which is used to heat up food in ovens. Reason : In ovens, microwaves heat up the vessel first and food inside gets heated up by the transfer of energy from the vessel.

A : If dipole moment of water molecules were zero, then microwave cooking would not be possible. R : In a microwave oven the water molecules vibrate due to oscillating electric field in microwave and heat the food.

The condition under which a microwave oven heats up a food item containing water molecules most efficiently is:
