Popis: We investigate standing waves that develop in the space between a microwave transmitter and receiver. Experimental results support a theoretical model of multiple reflections of spherical waves, leading to the standing waves. This experiment, though straightforward, is richly endowed with mathematical challenges and surprises. For example, the distance between adjacent antinodes is only approximately constant for a standing wave.
