About
Topics
- Microwaves
- Heat
- Thermodynamics
- Molecules
Description
How do microwaves heat up your coffee? Adjust the frequency and amplitude of microwaves. Watch water molecules rotating and bouncing around. View the microwave field as a wave, a single line of vectors, or the entire field.
Sample Learning Goals
- Describe matter in terms of molecular motion. The description should include diagrams to support the description and how temperature affects the image.
