Exploring Antenna and Frequency Experiments: A Hands-On Approach

Tuning the Antenna for Better Signal

The experimenter begins by adjusting the length of the antenna wire, which initially has some slack causing the wire to sag. By pulling the wire taut at the insulated segment near the ground, the antenna's effective length increases from approximately 20.5 inches to over 23 inches. This adjustment results in a noticeable rise in the antenna's reception capability, demonstrated by the multimeter readings climbing from 20.5 to 23 and suggesting that a longer, taut antenna can capture signals more effectively.
