Question

Someone places a chocolate bar near a working radar set that is used to locate ships and airplanes. which best describes what is likely to happen to the chocolate bar? it changes color as it absorbs visible light from the radar set. it softens and melts as it absorbs microwaves from the radar set. it becomes radioactive after it absorbs gamma rays from the radar set. it begins to fluoresce after it absorbs ultraviolet light from the radar set.

Answer 1

The chocolate softens and melts as it absorbs the microwaves, and it makes a mess.

Answer 2

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A radar emits microwaves which have longer wavelengths and a frequency range of 1 GHz to 300 GHz.

The microwaves are like electromagnetic waves and produces heat due to the emission of radiation.

Thus, when a chocolate bar is placed near a working radar set that is used to locate ships and airplanes then the chocolate bar will softens and melts as it absorbs microwaves from the radar set.
