10 Questions
Which factor determines whether a material is considered 'well-coupled' for microwave heating?
Reorientation frequency
What happens when the electric field change in a material occurs close to its natural frequency?
The material absorbs the maximum amount of energy
Why are materials with very low dielectric loss factor considered transparent to microwaves?
They allow microwaves to pass through with little absorption
What type of materials absorb microwaves according to the text?
Materials with intermediate loss tangents
In microwave processing, what does a dielectric loss factor below 10^-2 indicate about ceramics?
They are difficult to heat using microwaves
Which materials category reflects microwaves according to the text?
'Opaque' materials like metals
What happens when an external electric field acts on dielectric materials?
It causes dipoles to reorient rapidly
How do ceramics with loss factors between 10^-2 and 5 behave in terms of microwave heating?
They absorb most of the heating on the surface
'Volumetric heating' in microwave processing refers to heat being generated:
Throughout the entire volume of the material
Which term is used in microwave processing to describe materials that allow microwaves to pass through with very little absorption?
Transparent materials
