Move mouse over picture to see display
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
