Evanescent microwave laboratory project

In summary, the conversation discussed the two significant processes involved in observing evanescent waves between two prisms. The first process involves the evanescent wave traveling along the boundary of the reflecting material and regenerating a new wave on the same heading when brought close to a second prism. The second process involves the evanescent wave tunneling into the second prism and recreating the original wave on the same vector as before. It was determined that these are two different processes and it was questioned which one would be easier to measure in an undergraduate lab. The conversation also included a request for reliable refractive indices for 3cm microwaves for perspex and paraffin. In conclusion, the questions asked were deemed to be clear enough

Just looking for confirmation of a few thoughts and a couple of requests for information.

Firstly, there are two significant processes when observing evanescent waves between two prisms, right? Firstly, the evanescent wave travels along the boundary of the reflecting material and regenerates a new wave on the same heading when brought close to a second prism.

Secondly, the evanescent wave can tunnel into the second prism and recreate the original wave on the same vector as before, correct?

These are indeed two different processes, correct? Which of them would be easier to measure for an undergraduate lab?

Finally, where might I find reliable refractive indices for 3cm microwaves for perspex and paraffin?
