Which outcome occurs when a microwave oven's magnetron emits non-uniform electromagnetic waves?

💡 Explanation

When a magnetron emits non-uniform waves, uneven energy distribution occurs because wave intensity varies spatially, leading to areas of high and low microwave power density within the oven cavity. Therefore localized 'hot spots' result, rather than uniform heating, changes in power consumption or increased arcing which require specific fault conditions elsewhere.
