Michelson interferometer with 2.8-cm waves

Experiment no.: 5.8.7
Michelson-Interferometer mit 2.8-cm-Wellen Revised since 03/25
A transmitter provides coherent 2.8-cm waves to operate a Michelson interferometer. Intensity maxima are observed by moving one of the two mirrors.
Comment: The video shows an out-dated set-up.
