Abstract
For measuring the sizes of particles in the falling state, electromagnetic waves having different frequencies are transmitted from a transmitter/receiver onto the particles in the falling state and reflected electromagnetic waves having different frequencies reflected from the particles in the falling state are received by the transmitter/receiver. Data of the distribution of sizes of the particles and the average size of the particles are derived from the detected intensities of the received reflected electromagnetic waves.
