Which outcome occurs, when a microwave oven operates with an empty cavity?

💡 Explanation

When a microwave operates empty, very little water is available to absorb microwave energy; this causes the microwaves to be reflected back to the magnetron, the microwave source, because almost none are absorbed. Therefore magnetron overheating occurs, rather than mode interference or arcing which require specific cavity conditions and loads.
