TY - JOUR A1 - Vollmer, Michael A1 - Möllmann, Klaus-Peter A1 - Karstädt, Detlef T1 - Microwave oven experiments with metals and light sources T2 - In: Physics Education 39 (2004), 500-508 N2 - Don't put metal objects in the microwave' is common safety advice. But why? Here we describe demonstration experiments involving placing household metallic objects in a microwave oven. These allow a better understanding of the interaction of microwaves with materials. Light bulbs and discharge lamps can also be used in instructive demonstrations.
