MICROWAVE ENERGY LEVEL [4 records]

Record 1 2012-06-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atomic Physics
  • Lasers and Masers
DEF

A higher than normal energy level(vibrational frequency) of the electrons of an atom, radical, or molecule resulting from absorption of photons(quanta) from a radiation source(arc, flame, spark, etc.) in any wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum. X-ray, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwave, and radiofrequencies are typically used for excitation in various types of spectroscopy.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique atomique
  • Masers et lasers
DEF

En physique quantique, état instable d'une molécule ou d'un atome présentant plus d'énergie que l'état fondamental par suite du saut d'un électron à un niveau supérieur.

OBS

Une molécule ou un atome est plus réactif à l'état excité qu'à l'état fondamental. L'état excité de l'atome d'oxygène, dans les réactions de création et de destruction de l'ozone, se note 0(1D).

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Física atómica
  • Láser y máser
DEF

[Estado] de un átomo u otro sistema que, por haber recibido energía exterior pasa a un nivel energético superior al de su estado fundamental o normal.

Record 2 1993-10-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Packaging in Plastic
CONT

Another high-tech material to come on the packaging scene is silica-coated film. Such "glossy" film provides a superior oxygen and water-vapor barrier that is transparent to microwave energy and is retortable.... everyday Japanese applications of such films include candy, snack and bakery goods packaging at retail, plus bulk food ingredients at the industrial level.

Record 3 1986-09-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cooking Appliances
CONT

Standard features on microwave ovens are now as good as those on conventional ovens. Cooks have the option of choosing the cooking time, the final temperature... and the microwave energy level...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Appareils de cuisson des aliments
CONT

(...) les caractéristiques régulières des fours à micro-ondes sont devenues aussi pratiques que celles des fours ordinaires. Maintenant, les cuisiniers peuvent choisir la durée de la température, la température finale (...) ainsi que l'intensité d'énergie des micro-ondes.

Record 4 1986-09-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cooking Appliances
CONT

Microwave ovens have always been fast and efficient, but they haven’t always won points for convenience.... Cooks have the option of choosing the cooking time, the final temperature(using a temperature probe) and the microwave energy level...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Appareils de cuisson des aliments
CONT

Les fours à micro-ondes ont toujours eu la réputation d'être rapides et efficaces, mais ils ne sont pas considérés comme très commodes. (...) Maintenant, les cuisiniers peuvent choisir la durée de la température, la température finale (en utilisant une sonde thermique) ainsi que l'intensité d'énergie des micro-ondes.
