   There’s a neat experiment you can do to see how it uses a standing wave to heat the food, and why you get hot spots.

   Put a plate of cheese into the microwave (remove the rotating tray first if it’s got one), and run it long enough that the cheese just barely starts to melt.

   You’ll get lines of melted cheese with unmelted in between. The distance between the melted lines is the wavelength of the microwaves.
