Microwave ovens use 12.3 cm of radiation to warm food. How many microwave oven photons
would be required to raise the temperature of 100 grams of water by 1°C? How long would it take
an 1100-watt microwave to generate that many photons? (E = hc/ʎ, h = 6.626 x 10 -34 J/s, c = 2.998 x
108 m, cs (H2O) = 4.18 J g-1 °C-1, 1 Watt = 1 J/s) (Total 6 points)
