A set of experiments is described to measure the decay of electromagnetic evanescent waves and the tunneling effect through an airgap. The experiments are performed using microwaves and have been designed to be carried out by third year students of physics. The proposed experimental setup can be regarded as a quantum mechanical simulator for the one‐dimensional motion of a particle.
