The microwave optics kit consists of a microwave transmitter and receiver, a goniometer, and parts for a number of experiments. Both the transmitter and receiver operate at the 3 cm wavelength. All parts are shown in the pictures.
Materials:
- Polarization
- Single slit diffraction
- Double slit interference
- Bragg’s diffraction (with the styrofoam cube with 100 metal spheres which simulates a crystal lattice)
Note: The receiver is powered by two 9-Volt batteries; make sure to switch it off after the demonstration.
