THEORETICAL BACKGROUND Electromagnetic waves always travel at the same speed (299,792 km per second).

This is one of their defining characteristics. In the electromagnetic spectrum there are many different types of waves with varying frequencies and wavelengths. They are all related by one important equation: Any electromagnetic wave's frequency multiplied by its wavelength equals the speed of light. Frequency of oscillation x wavelength = speed of light We can use this relationship to figure out the wavelength or frequency of any electromagnetic wave if we have the other measurement. Just divide the speed of light by whichever measurement you have and then you've got the other. Wavelength = Speed of light Frequency Oscillation Frequency of Oscillation = Speed of Light Wavelength The fundamental frequency is the lowest frequency sinusoidal in the sum. in some contexts, the fundamental is usually abbreviated as f0 (or ff), indicating the lowest frequency counting from zero. in other contexts, it is more common to abbreviate it as f1, the first harmonic. (the second harmonic is then f2 = 2f1, etc. in this context, the zeroth harmonic would be 0 hz.)

INTERPRETATION OF DATA

CONCLUSION The slotted line set the frequency to come up with the output of the wavelength by means of moving it. The cut off frequency reduces the power transmitted to the devices. If the frequency surpasses the cutoff frequency threshold it will cut off.

RECOMMENDATION Use a safety goggles during the experiment due to radio frequency output because it can affect the health.
