Document Summary
Lab 2 report due in 9 days (thursday) y 5 pm in room a-131 mailbox. Phy 134 lo4: you will get more time for the lab 3 report so you can use comments from lab 1 - when you get it back next tuesday. In this lab, we will familiarize ourselves with a cathode-ray oscilloscope by taking measurements. An oscilloscope contains an electron beam in a tube, whereupon hitting a phosphor-coated glass screen, creates light. This electron beam can be controlled by varying the voltage of the plates using knobs, buttons, and levers. There are connectors which control the input and output of electrical signals in the oscilloscope. There exists a grid of lines on the phosphor-glass screen which allow readings of oscilloscope, which would be voltage or time differences, or other measurements based upon the previous two readings.
