Advanced Microwave Optics System WA-9316A Pasco Scientific

Features

Diffraction Slit Hardware

Spacers and holders for performing interference experiments

Ethafoam® Prism with Styrene Pellets

Used for refraction of microwaves. The index of refraction of styrene is determined

Rotating Mounts

The transmitter and receiver rotate through a full 360° ( an important feature for polarization experiments )

Gunn Diode Transmitter

A stable, low-voltage source of linearly polarized microwaves ( 10.5 GHz; 15 mW )

18 cm High Mounts

Minimize tabletop reflections for improved accuracy

Receiver with a Built-in Amplifier

Variable sensitivity ensures clear data, even for low-intensity measurements ( Bragg diffraction and Brewster's angle )

Long-Arm Goniometer

For easy setup and alignment. The built-in degree and millimeter scales ensure accurate measurements

Magnetic Mounting

All components mount magnetically. Setup is quick and accurate

Durable Construction

Parts are made of stainless steel or die-cast aluminum
