Question:

Let us model the electromagnetic wave in a microwave oven as a plane traveling wave moving to the left, with an intensity of 25.0 kW/m2. An oven contains two cubical containers of small mass, each full of water. One has an edge length of 6.00 cm and the other, 12.0 cm. Energy falls perpendicularly on one face of each container. The water in the smaller container absorbs 70.0% of the energy that falls on it. The water in the larger container absorbs 91.0%. (That is, the fraction 0.3 of the incoming microwave energy passes through a 6-cm thickness of water, and the fraction (0.3)(0.3) = 0.09 passes through a 12-cm thickness.) Find the temperature change of the water in each container over a time interval of 480 s. Assume that a negligible amount of energy leaves either container by heat.
