Which consequence occurs when microwave oven magnetron frequency drifts outside designed range?

💡 Explanation

When magnetron frequency drifts, the interference pattern of the microwaves inside the oven changes because wavelength shifts influence the resonant cavity modes, leading to constructive and destructive interference at different locations. Therefore uneven heating results, rather than magnetron failure, arcing, or low heating efficiency which depend on separate failure modes.
