Re: [Phys-l] Microwave door. Was: Re: About the "why" and "how" questions.

Doors curious. We have four three are double plastic no stress built up there. The fourth and newest has a glass front and plastic rear w/ the mesh. Any one about w/ an air rifle?

bc has more of them one of which he dismantled for the P/S and magnetron.

The oven door was actually the glassy window with metallic frame, but the
glass contained the layer of perforated conducting mesh, with the mesh to keep
the microwaves inside from escaping, and small perforations to make it
transparent in the optical range.
