L4-42: MICROWAVES - INDEX OF REFRACTION
- ID Code: L4-42
- Purpose: Determine the index of refraction of paraffin for microwaves.
- Description:
By measuring the minimum angle of deviation a for a microwave beam passing through an equilateral paraffin prism, the index of refraction N can be calculated:
N = 2 sin ( 30 degrees + a / 2 ).
