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 a metal container should not be used in a microwave oven?

In a microwave oven, the food is kept in a plastic container and the microwave is directed towards the food. The food is cooked without melting or igniting the plastic container. Explain.

Assertion Microwaves are used in microwave oven for cooking purpose. Reason The frequency of microwaves is from 10^(14) to 10^(17) Hz .

Assertion : One should not use metal containers in a microwave oven Reason : Only because metal may melt form heating.

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.
