Which phenomenon occurs when a microwave oven door's mesh allows high-frequency waves to pass between materials?

💡 Explanation

When microwaves interact with a mesh, diffraction occurs because the wavelength is significantly larger than the mesh size, causing waves to spread and cancel, thereby preventing macroscopic leakage. Therefore diffraction ensures wave containment, rather than reflection, refraction or absorption causing similar.
