An apparatus and method for intercepting leakage of microwave includes an electrodeless bulb for generating light by microwave generated from a magnetron, a sensing unit installed outside the resonator for intercepting the microwave, for passing light generated in the electrodeless bulb and outputting a corresponding sensing signal by sensing at real time whether the microwave is leaked and a control unit for turning on or off a power supped to the magnetron by the sensing signal, thus to prevent a fire by leakage of the microwave and secure safety of a user by intercepting the microwave leaked by damage of the resonator of the lighting apparatus using the microwave.
