PIRA Classification: 5N10.30

Description: A pulse generator sends a pulse down a 1 ft length and 100 ft length of coax cable. The signals from the two cables are viewed on the scope and the velocity of the signal is calculated.

Special Instructions: The delay between the two signals is around 140 nsec.

Ideally For: Phys 2303, 2403, 2503

Condition: Ok.

Setup time: 5 minutes

Safety Issues: None
