Microwave Optics (3) : Sleman Nabeel Sa'ad

This document summarizes three microwave optics experiments: 1) A Fabry-Perot interferometer experiment to study wave reflection between two partial reflectors. Wavelengths were calculated for different distances between reflectors. 2) A Brewster's angle experiment where the transmitted intensity of horizontally and vertically polarized light was measured at different angles of incidence. This was used to locate Brewster's angle. 3) A Bragg diffraction experiment to investigate the conditions under which Bragg diffraction occurs and calculate wavelength. Questions addressed other crystal planes and effects of unknown crystal orientation.

Experiment (7)

#objectives:
1) We will investigate the Fabry-Perot Interferometer
and study what will happen when the wave from the
source reflects back and forth between the two
partial reflectors.
2) We will investigate the Brewster’s Angle and calculate
the angle of polarization for which no radiation will
be.
3) will investigate Bragg Diffraction that the angle of
incidence equals the angle of reflection, and Bragg's
equation, 2dsinθ = nλ, is satisfied.

Answers of the questions:


 Q1:
A minimum signal to be delivered to the receiver when the two partial
nλ
reflectors are apart , n being odd number.
4
 Q2:
We would expect Such a pattern to occur. However, we are unable to check
due to the reflectors being too Small in accordance with the size of the
wavelength. Therefore, the next ring would be beyond the edge and unseen.

Answers of the questions:


 Q1:
Yes, we can use the microwave apparatus to locate Brewster’s angle by
examining the transmitted beam. At Brewster's angle, the intensity of the
reflected beam is minimum or zero. In other words, at Brewster's angle, the
transmitted beam should be of maximum intensity. So, if we put a detector
in the direction of the transmitted beam to measure the beam intensity,
then it should register a peak in intensity at Brewster's angle. In this way, we
can locate Brewster's angle.

 Q2:
The intensity of light reduced by adjusting the transmission planes of
polaroid’s. In accordance with Malus's law, intensity propagated
I =I ° cos2 θ
When the angle between the plane of transmission and incident are
parallel, θ=0 °. the intensity is maximum; where as it is minimum for 90 °.
The linearly polarized light emitting from the source can’t reach the person
as the transmission planes of polaroid’s of glasses are right angles to the
incident. In this case it blocks horizontal polarized light. Thus, the polaroid’s
block the light.

 Part (3):
"Bragg Diffraction"

Answers of the questions:


 Q1:
Other families of planes would be the 111 plane, the 101 plane, and so
on. These would be difficult to observe with this apparatus due to the small
size of our "crystal".

 Q2:
Not knowing the orientation of the interatomic planes of the crystal
would increase the complexity of the analysis. We could orient the crystal so
that there was maximum transmission; this would indicate to us a 100 plane.
From there, we until we had enough data to assemble a likely picture of the
atomic spacing in the crystal.

 NOTE:
10-15% error is reasonable for Bragg Diffraction experiment.
