COOKING GUIDE THE PRINCIPLES OF MICROWAVE COOKING Microwaves are a form of high frequency radio waves similar to those used by a radio including AM, FM and CB. They are, however, much shorter than radio waves; approximately four to six inches long with a diameter of about 0.6cm (1/4 inch). Electricity is converted into microwave energy by the magnetron tube. From the magnetron tube, microwave energy is transmitted to the oven cavity where it is reflected, transmitted and absorbed.
