Microwave ovens emit microwave radiation that is absorbed by water. The absorbed radiation isconverted to heat, which cooks the food. One particular oven emits microwaves with awavelength of 10.8 cm. How many microwave photons are required to heat 150.0 mL of coffeefrom 20.0°C to 70.0°C? (q mcpAT; cwater 4.18 J/g C)

The heat released by a process can be calculated as given below.
