Which mechanism causes increased dielectric heating when microwave frequencies match a molecule's rotational mode?

💡 Explanation

Resonant energy absorption occurs because the electromagnetic field's frequency matches the molecule's natural rotational frequency, maximizing energy transfer through constructively interfering angular momentum; therefore absorption increases, rather than minimized reflection because frequencies cancel under different quantum selection rules.
