Hmm... one inch fits nicely inside the microwave wavelength. I'd guess an inch corresponds to about half a wavelength. That's a pretty lame guess, though. I suppose I should try it first and see what exactly you mean by "a neat pattern of lightening." :-) [Hmmm... That would give a wavelength of 5cm, but a quick websearch tells me the waves in question should be 12 cm. Oh well. :-] One inch does roughly correspond to 1/4 wavelength. Hm. I get stuck with 2 physics courses next year. You have little idea how much me and 99% of the rest of my class would like to avoid those. :) -- This .sig is not innovative, witty, or profund.
