this is what the wave pattern actually looks like inside your microwave oven now obviously microwaves are invisible they're a type of light that human eyes can't see but if you've got a cardboard box and a thermal camera you can at least measure it you just need to take out the pesky turntable once that's done just place the Box inside your microwave and let it run for a few minutes the Box will look like this through the thermal camera just have a fire extinguisher or a watering can nearby or s
omething you know just in case as you can see here my box caught fire a little bit anyway what you're seeing are the hot spots created by the standing wave inside the oven unfortunately hot spots are unavoidable when working with waves which is why the turntable is in there it allows your food to cook evenly my animation is just a two-dimensional version though
