A student investigated the reflection of microwaves from a metal plate and a glass plate. The metal plate reflects microwaves and the glass plate partially reflects microwaves. A plan view of the apparatus is shown. transmitter receiver The metal plate, the transmitter and the receiver were kept in fixed positions. The value of \( d \) was varied by moving the glass plate. The student recorded values of \( d \) when the receiver showed a maximum value of intensity. He recorded \( d \) for a sequence of five maxima. (i) Determine the wavelength of the microwaves being transmitted.
