Microwave Diffraction
Data Analysis
- Show a plot of the incidence angle vs reflection angle. Fit your data with the expected trend. Compare your measured slope to the accepted value.
- For the two-slit experiment, plot the amplitude of your signal as a function of angle. Can you confirm the expected results for the two-slit experiment from Equation 1? Hopefully you can find a way to use a least-squares fit on your data. Maybe using a Gaussian to fit your data, or using a line to fit your expected results. Be clever and ask questions if you’re not sure how to proceed.
