=__​ Isotope and Radioactivity __=

= = = Name of radioactive isotope/electromagnetic radiation/scientist: = = = = = =Explanation of interesting facts: (how used/works.experiments/discoveries) =
 * 1) Microwave radiation to heat water and other polarized molecules within the food.
 * 2) The microwave energy is transmitted into a metal channel called a waveguide.
 * 3) Some waves go directly towards the food, others bounce off the the walls, flooring, and the door.
 * 4) When the microwave oven door is opened all the energy stops.
 * 5) Can not cook certain foods.

= 3 Advantages of using the radioactive isotope/radiation/benefits of discovery =

1. The microwave oven is really quick to use.

2.They are also extremely efficient in their use of electricity, because a microwave oven heats only the food.

3.The microwave oven is really easy to use. = Is the radioactive isotope/radiation/discovery still used today? Explain? = Yes, radioactive radiation is still used today because why would people stop useing it. If it means that we can get food quick and easy, then why would we stop. Radioactive radiation is used for many things more than just microwave ovens, there used for tanning beds, t.v.'s, X-rays, and many more. We use them a lot now and we're gonna use them a lot in the future too, unless we can find a safer way without useing radioactive radiation.
