Well, if you can
"feel" the radiation of your microwave (as opposed to feeling the air from its
fan or the vibration from any moving parts), then I strongly suggest you buy a
new microwave as your microwave oven's door seals are probably
bad.
Here's a quote for
you:
"The signal's 2.4GHz microwave frequency
matches the resonance frequency of water and ice. The signal swiftly loses
strength when passing through the hotel walls, says Sylvan, expending its energy
on heating up the water. A microwave oven operates on the same principle, he
explains, although with the power levels used by the Spectrum24 network
equipment--100 milliwatts, compared to 1,000 watts or more for a
microwave--there's little danger that ordering a vodka tonic will melt a hole
through the building. "
