Something that I’ve noticed across most of the microwave ovens that I’ve used is that when they hum while cooking food, I can pick out 2 distinct tones. One of them is pretty clearly 60 120 hz, the 2nd harmonic of the AC power frequency. The other is consistently a minor 7th above that (which would be somewhere around...
Yes, microwaves are a poor substitute for an oven but they work fine for vegetables that you might otherwise use a steamer to cook. Stuff like broccoli, beans, carrot pieces etc. Corn on the cob works well too, just give it a few minutes in the microwave with the husk still on.
Yes, the fur looks like it would feel somewhat spikey rather than fluffy. I'm guessing it's a combination of the fur drying out in that pattern and the seal having fairly oily fur to help shed water.
Why do many microwave ovens hum in an interval of a minor 7th?
