Microwave diagnostics of the influence of physical effects on the electromagnetic characteristics of water.

Changes in the dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangent of water that was first subjected to impact loads under the action of an alternating magnetic field were determined quantitatively using a micro-wave system, which allows solution of the inverse problem. The results of measurements of the optical spectrum of water in the 'transmission' mode, which was subjected to a shock load, in comparison with the optical spectrum of distilled water, are described.
