- ID Code: M2-22
- Purpose: Demonstrate microwave diffraction be a conducting sphere.
- Description: A Van de Graaff generator ground sphere is used as the diffraction center for a beam of 12cm microwaves. The diffracted wave is picked up by a moveable microwave receiver and displayed on the overhead projector microammeter as the receiver is moved around behind the sphere.
