Answer all questions in this section.
0 1 A student investigates stationary waves using microwaves.
Figure 1 shows a metre ruler fixed to a bench. The student places a microwave
transmitter T at one end of the ruler and a vertical metal reflector R at the other end.
R is at a right angle to the ruler.
Figure 1
The student places a microwave detector D approximately one-third of the distance
from T to R. When T is switched off, the microammeter connected to D reads zero.
When T is switched on, stationary waves are produced between T and R, and the
microammeter registers a current. When the student moves D along the ruler, the
size of the current changes between maximum and minimum values.

The student measures the current at different positions of D along the ruler to identify box
a position P of the minimum current.

The student moves D along the metre ruler towards R and observes a series of box
maximum and minimum readings on the microammeter. He identifies Q as the
position of the 8th minimum current from P. He measures the distance PQ to
be 50.9 cm, as shown in Figure 3.
