 height of 61 cm., and was therefore on a level with the middle of the 

 reflector.

The distance from the reflector W to the pipe P could be varied and 

 was read off on the scale S. Readings of the galvanometer were taken 

 with the reflector at various stages, 5 cm. apart, along the scale. The 

 values of the current in the galvanometer circuit are plotted against
