  12. I was thinking of this the other day - we all know that a microwave oven
  13. works by resonating the water molecules at its natural frequency - this
  14. causes a rise in its temperature. The question is, can we do the same
  15. with sound waves - using it to resonate the water molecules. I know that
  16. you need incredibly high frequecies to achieve it but is the concept
  17. sound theoretically?
