What happens if you put a cockroach in a microwave?
Q63: Andy Robb asks:
After cooking pizza in my microwave, I opened the microwave … and discovered a small roach … still alive. … is it possible that it was in the microwave … and … survived?
Ans: Andy,
This experiment has been done often.
The microwave oven is amazingly non-uniform in its heating. That is why most of them have carousels to keep the food moving through the focus of the power.
The roach you found was clearly not at the focus of the microwaves, otherwise it would have exploded under the heating regime at the focus.
