Estimating the Dielectric Constant of Water in the Decimeter-Wave Range

The experiment P3.7.2.4 demonstrates the dielectric nature of water. In water, decimeter waves of the same frequency propagate with a shorter wavelength than in air. Therefore, a receiver dipole tuned for reception of the wavelength in air is no longer adequately tuned when placed in water.
