Part 1:
Calculate the theoretical value for frequency and compare it with the experimental value obtained
from the calibration curve in Figure 3.
Theoretical value for frequency (f) can be calculated using below equation,

Part 2:
Calculate the guide wave length, Ig by using experimental results obtained.
The difference between consecutive nulls is 34 -15 = 19 mm
So, Guided wave length (λg ) can be calculated as below,
λg
= 19 mm

∴ λg = 38 𝑚𝑚
