About This Product
With only the transmitter and receiver, students can explore polarisation and the effect of distance on signal strength. As an analogue of visible light, the 2.8 cm microwaves let nodes and antinodes be found from simple position measurements, while the battery operated detector probe maps intensity at points in space to show standing waves and interference patterns. The reflectors support single and double slit work, Lloyd's mirror and a Michelson-Morley set-up. Export supply of the Microwave Kit with Accessories can be arranged to laboratories and schools in Zambia, Lithuania, Mali, Togo and North Macedonia.
