Answer:

The correct answer is - Disagree with her.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fluorescence substances are the substances that glow when they absorbed visible light and ultraviolet radiation and objects will glow when put under Ultraviolet light and makes the molecules excited.

Microwaves have a different wavelength than ultraviolet radiation and therefore does not able to excite the molecule of the fluorescent objects. The microwave radiation will not glow.

Thus, the correct answer is - disagree with her.
