Microwave Optics System

Item Code: SN636

Principle and Working:

Microwave apparatus is used for study of Wave Phenomenon of the radiation, because its properties are very similar to those of light.
In the present setup, used for the students to understand and learn the basic concepts of wave phenomenon. Demonstration of wave nature e.g., reflection, refraction, Polarization, Interference and diffraction of the radiation produced, can be done using this kit.
