Microwave Apparatus Full Kit 2.8cm

Description

The use of Microwave in the school laboratory to replace light for optical experiments provides great convenience to the teacher and gives the students a far better grasp of the principles involved. Blackout conditions or any special light sources are not required. Since Microwave is ‘coherent transmission’ it behaves as a safe, low frequency ‘LASER’. Even though it cannot be seen, it has a greater advantage in that it can be measured and heard in quantitative terms. This is difficult to do with any form of normal visible light.

This famous IEC ‘Microwave Apparatus, 2.8cm wavelength’, (used for microwave optics) has been a popular item for teaching many aspects of optics for many years. It has recently been modernised internally and there is no change to the external appearance. The kit consists of a compact portable Transmitter run by PlugPak or 12V.p/supply, a compact portable Receiver run by battery or LV.p/supply, a diode probe with cable, a set of 3x metal reflectors, a semi-reflector, a polarizing grille, a diffraction grating, a microphone and a 240/12V.AC.PlugPak. Complete with an excellent instruction and experiment book.
