Two Slit Interference of Microwaves.
Description
The microwave transmitter is directed towards a large metal screen having two slits separated by a distance comparable to the wavelength (3 cm). As the receiver is moved along the line AB, maxima and minima are observed depending on the path difference of the waves from the two slits.
