Waves Quiz (2) Physics AS Level

Vertically polarised microwaves are emitted from a source. The microwaves are detected by a receiver that is connected to a cathode-ray oscilloscope (CRO). The waveform displayed on the screen of the CRO has an amplitude of $2.6 cm$.
A metal wire grid that acts as a polarising filter is now placed between the source and the receiver. The filter is orientated so that the plane of polarisation of the transmitted wave is at an angle of $20°$ to the vertical.
The distance between the…
