Code: 5N10.60


Demo Title: E vs B Waves Device


Subject: Transmission Lines and Antennas


Description:
A radio transmitter and a receiver in series with a lightbulb are used to describe the use of electromagnetic waves in antennas.


Procedure:

  • DO NOT TURN ON WHILE SETTING UP
  • BE VERY CAREFUL WITH TUBE LIGHTBULBS (DO NOT DROP ON TABLE OR FLOOR)
