Lab 6. Electromagnetic Radiation Lab

Introduction

This experiment is designed to investigate the behavior of electromagnetic(EM) radiation due to a simple antenna.

Procedure

1. Set up the devices - create the transmitter,receiver.

2. Set up the oscillator frequency of about 30 kHz and turn the amplitude to its maximum.

3. Measure the peak to peak amplitude of the received EM wave as a function of the distance from the transmitter. Move the antenna by 5 cm increments and collect data. 

at 5 cm
