B. Fusion requires very high pressure and temperature.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is the combination of atomic nuclei into larger ones with the release of a large amount of energy.

Nuclear fission is the decay process in which a heavy nuclide is bombarded with with neutrons.

Both processes release a huge amount of energy.
But fusion produces far more energy.
The reason why nuclear fusion is not in use is because of the high pressure and temperature needed start it.
The activation energy is high and the energy barrier is very great.
Only the core of the sun naturally favors fusion

How do microwaves use the behavior and characteristics of the electromagnetic wave to function?

serg [7]

Answer:

Radiation moves out of the microwave into waves causing heat.

Explanation:

Inside your microwave oven, electrical energy is transformed into EM energy in the magnetron. When the microwave photons interact with food, food molecules are physically agitated, transforming the EM energy into kinetic energy, or energy of movement .
