Demonstrates: Electromagnetic propagation of microwaves.
Description: Hold dipole array at 90o angle to show polarization. Double and single slits are available for diffraction - swing receiver in an arc ~ 2 meters from slits. An aluminum sheet can be used to show shielding. Interference beats occur when sheet is held parallel to the center line between the transmitter and receiver.
Instructions: Various wire grids and solid plates (metal, glass, plastic) can be inserted between the transmitter and receiver.
Items Used:
Notes: Set up on the Michelson Interferometer board. Math Description: None.
