These have metal body, magnetron, the wave generator is present inside it. The magnetron takes electricity and produce high power radio waves. These waves travel to food compartment with the help of wave guide. We keep food on slowly spinning top so heating is even. The waves so produced are reflected by shiny interior and when they strike food, they penetrate the food. These high energy waves cause the food particles to vibrate and thus produce heat.
Q 1 The waves generated by magnetron are of short length. Do you agree? Give reason.
Q 2 If we compare the reflection of light rays with microwaves, then which part of it will act as mirror?
Q 3 Cite a reason for placing food on tenable top

Microwave ovens | How do they work? - Explain that Stuff Inside the strong metal box, there is a microwave generator called a magnetron. When you start cooking, the magnetron takes electricity from the power outlet and converts it into high-powered, 12cm (4.7 inch) radio waves. The magnetron blasts these waves into the food compartment through a channel called a wave guide.
