===About Microwaves===
: [[Microwave]]s are [[Transverse Wave|transverse waves]].
: [[Microwave]]s can travel through a [[vacuum]] as well as through [[gas]]es in the [[Earth's Atmosphere|Earth's atmosphere]].
*[[Reflection|Reflected]] - [[Microwave]]s can bounce off an [[interface]] between two [[medium|media]].
*[[Refraction|Refracted]] - [[Microwave]]s can change direction when they cross the [[interface]] between two [[medium|media]].
====Unique Properties====
: [[Microwave]]s can cause alternating currents in [[metal]]s.
: [[Microwave]]s can cause [[water]] [[molecule]]s to [[oscillate]], [[heating]] the [[water]].
====Applications====
: [[Microwave]]s can be used in satellite communication and mobile phone communication because they can be created by [[Alternating Current|alternating current]] and can cause an [[Alternating Current|alternating current]] in [[metal]]s.: [[Microwave]]s can be used for cooking because they cause [[water]] [[molecule]]s and [[fat]] [[molecule]]s to [[oscillate]] increasing the [[temperature]] of the [[food]].
====Dangers====
: [[Microwave]]s can cause internal heating of living creatures because they are made of [[water]] which is heated by [[microwave]]s.
