Which effect is amplified when a microwave's cavity dimensions resonate?

💡 Explanation

The electromagnetic standing wave amplitude increases when the microwave cavity resonates because constructive interference from reflected waves match the cavity dimensions through the cavity resonance mechanism. This amplification focuses energy, therefore efficiently interacting with materials inside, rather than being dispersed.
