What is the difference between microwaves and light waves?

I believe most people are familiar with microwaves. For example, many families have microwave ovens, which are machines that heat through microwaves. In comparison, many people know very little about light waves. In fact, the light waves that people often refer to are the part of light in the battery pack that can be seen by the naked eye. Therefore, microwaves and light waves are very different and must not be confused.

What is the difference between microwaves and light waves?

Microwaves and light waves have different wavelengths, so the heat is higher. The difference between the two:

The light wave oven is also called a light wave microwave oven. The biggest difference between it and an ordinary microwave oven lies in its heating method. In ordinary microwave ovens, the internal grill tubes are generally made of copper tubes or quartz tubes. Copper tubes are difficult to cool after being heated, which can easily cause burns; while the thermal efficiency of quartz tubes is not very high.

The grilling tube of the light wave oven is replaced by a halogen tube (i.e. light wave tube) instead of a quartz tube or copper tube. It can quickly generate high temperature and heat, cools down quickly, has higher heating efficiency, and will not burn, thus ensuring the color of the food. In terms of cost, the cost of light wave tubes is only a few yuan more than that of copper tubes or quartz tubes, so light wave tubes are now widely used in microwave oven technology.

Essence: Light waves are an auxiliary function of the microwave oven and only work for grilling. Without microwaves, the light wave oven is just like an ordinary oven. The light wave ovens on the market are all light wave and microwave combination ovens. During use, they can be operated by microwave, by light wave alone, or by a combination of light wave and microwave. In other words, the light wave oven is compatible with the functions of a microwave oven.

Different heating methods

The different heating methods can be said to be the biggest difference between them. The grill tube inside the microwave oven is a magnetron, which is a microwave generator that can stimulate the molecules in food to move at high speed, thereby generating a large amount of heat and ultimately cooking the food. It heats things from the inside out. The grill tube of the microwave oven is generally made of copper tube or quartz tube, which has low thermal efficiency. It also makes it easy for food to lose moisture and flavor.

The light wave oven is a combination oven of light waves and microwaves. It adds a light wave emission source, ingeniously combining light waves and microwaves. The grill tube inside is replaced by a halogen tube, also known as a light wave tube, from a quartz tube or copper tube, which can quickly generate high temperature and heat, and the cooling liquid is relatively fast. Therefore, the microwave oven combines the functions of a microwave oven, but it is more upgraded. The moisture in the food will be locked, making it crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and very delicious.

Advantages of light wave oven over microwave oven

1. The baking time is greatly shortened and no preheating is required. It can also generate a lot of heat at a lower power, saving 30% energy than the best microwave oven in the United States.

2. Use light waves to heat the surface of food, and microwaves penetrate the surface of food to heat the inside of food. This baking method greatly reduces the baking time and can also prevent the loss of water and nutrients.
