Frustrated total reflection / Microwaves

Principle: In the first part, the transmission and reflection characteristics of glass, acrylic glass and metal are studied with a microwave transmitter receiver pair and are compared to each other. In the second part, total reflection of microwaves on a prismatic surface is suppressed by bringing a second prism with the same refractive index close to the first one.

Tasks:
1.   Determination of the reflecting and transmitting characteristics of glass, acrylic glass and metal.
2.   Observation of the effect of frustrated total reflection and determination of the transmitted irradiance as a function of distance d to the prismatic surface. The refractive index of the prism material can be calculated by determining the attenuation coefficient γ.
