Average distance = 6cm
Double that for the length = 12cm
.12 x 2450,000,000 = 294,000,000 = waves produced each second
Yes I was surprised by this experiment because the distances apart were almost about the same distance, and I thought that they would be more randomly spread throughout the plate. I was also surprised that some of the marshmallows didn’t melt at all, while others almost completely disintegrated.
Microwave is a type of light because it has wavelengths and frequency, and then when you put that together with speed, then you get the formula for light. And obviously is it is the formula for light, then you have found a type of light.
Bonus
The Earth's atmosphere begins to shield radiation from us. The most important form of microwave radiation in astronomy is called the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). Discovered in 1965, CMB comes from all parts of the Universe with the same intensity. CMB became solid evidence for the 'Big Bang' theory, which predicted that the shockwave of the primeval explosion would be still detectable. ESA's Planck mission will study the CMB and thus will be seeing the Universe as it was almost at its beginning.
