Abstract
The hydrogen-peroxide concentrations c(H2O2) in water irradiated by electromagnetic energy at frequencies of 2500 MHz and 10000 MHz are measured by means of chemiluminescence. It is concluded that water dissociation into H and OH groups is a part of the mechanism of microwave-radiation absorption.
