The metric scale along the Goniometer and Fixed Arm Assembly arms and the degree plate at the junction of the Goniometer arms allow easy measurement of component placement.
Reflectors, Partial Reflectors, Polarizers, Slit Spacers, and the Slit Extender Arm all attach magnetically to the Component Holders. *The Cubic Lattice contains 100 metal spheres in a 5 by 5 by 4 array. All the accessory equipment needed to investigate a variety of wave phenomena is also included. The Microwave Optics System comes with a 2.85 centimeter wavelength microwave transmitter and a receiver with variable amplification from 1X to 30X. The Complete Microwave Optics System consists of the Microwave Optics System (WA-9314C) and the Microwave Accessory Package (WA-9315). Fee free to copy the experiment write-ups for use in your lab. The experiments are written in a worksheet format.
Experiments for investigating Bragg diffraction and Brewster’s angle are included, but require the Microwave Accessory Package. These experiments range from quantitative investigation of reflection and refraction to microwave models of the Michelson and Fabry-Perot interferometers. Basic principles are only briefly discussed in each experiment because it is assumed that the students have the appropriate theoretical background. The experiments are designed to give a thorough introduction to wave theory using the Microwave Optics System. (Note that Experiment 3 can be done with the WA-9319A Microwave Detector Probe and that Experiment 11 and Experiment 12 use equipment from the WA-9315 Microwave Accessory Package.)
