0 1 A student investigates stationary waves using microwaves.
Figure 1 shows a metre ruler fixed to a bench. The student places a microwave
transmitter T at one end of the ruler and a vertical metal reflector R at the other end.
R is at a right angle to the ruler.
Figure 1
The student places a microwave detector D approximately one-third of the distance
from T to R. When T is switched off, the microammeter connected to D reads zero.
When T is switched on, stationary waves are produced between T and R, and the
microammeter registers a current. When the student moves D along the ruler, the
size of the current changPes between maximum and minimum values.
