Einstein Photogate Sensor

Einstein Photogate Sensor

Einstein Photogate Sensor

This general-purpose sensor is commonly used for a wide variety of experiments such as studying the swing of a pendulum, measuring the speed of a rolling object or measuring the speed of colliding objects.

Specifications

• Range: 0 to 3 V
• Detector rise time: 180 ns
• Detector fall time: 180 ns
• Parallax error: For an object passing within 1 cm of the detector, with a velocity less than 10 m/s, the difference between the true and effective length is less than 1 mm Infrared source: Peak at 875 nm

Experiments

• Position and Velocity Measurements
