I think thats correct? | |

For extra credit, when you're doing the experiment vary the angle of H with respect to your receiver and transmitter -- you should expect to see a change in the size of maxima - minima, until eventually the effect disappears (when the receiver is no longer "seeing" a reflection from the transmitter). | |
