- the reason why the size of the gap is set to be equal to or less than one tenth of the wavelength of the microwave is that if there is a gap that is larger than one tenth of the wavelength of the microphone mouth wave, the gap is generated in the gap. This is because the electromagnetic field changes the distribution of the electromagnetic field in the top plate 4.
