Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Microwave radiation utilizes short, high-frequency waves that penetrate food, which agitates its water molecules to create friction and transfer heat. If you’re heating a solid substance, this heat energy is transferred throughout the food through conduction, while liquids do so through convection.

Detailed explanation-2: -Microwave ovens use electromagnetic waves that penetrate food, causing some molecules to vibrate and generate heat which is transferred throughout the food. Learn more about the electromagnetic spectrum.

Detailed explanation-3: -Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through space by electromagnetic radiation. Most of the electromagnetic radiation that comes to the earth from the sun is invisible. Only a small portion comes as visible light. Light is made of waves of different frequencies.
