The ability of the time reversal process to reconstruct sources of finite size relative to a wavelength is investigated. Specifically the quality of the spatial reconstruction of a finite sized source will be presented through the use of time reversal experiments conducted on an aluminum plate. The data presented in the paper show that time reversal can reconstruct a source equally well regarding less of its size, when the source is a half wavelength or less in size. The quality of spatial reconstruction when the source is larger than a half wavelength progressively decreases with the size of the source.
