This set of photo gates can be used with Cat No. 1030951 & Cat No. 1030956. These photo gates can be used to get the pulse generated by any object passing between the photo diode & photo transistor mounted. Any object with the width or diameter of 40mm (max.) can be passed through these photo gates.
Features
Dual Photogate Setup:
The set includes two photogates, allowing for measurements that require multiple data points, such as calculating the time between two different points (e.g., pre-collision and post-collision velocities). Precision Measurement: The gates use an infrared beam (peak at approximately 880 nm) which, when blocked, signals an event for precise timing. Accessory-based System: These photogates are intended to connect to a compatible timer (such as ARCO's associated digital counter 1030956) or data interface (e.g., PASCO or Vernier systems using appropriate adapters) for function and power.
LED Indicator:
A red LED on the photogate typically indicates when the infrared beam is blocked. Mounting Capability: The photogates include a swivel mount or similar attachment mechanism to fix them to support rods or lab apparatus, facilitating various experimental setups. Durable Design: Constructed for educational and laboratory use, the units are built to be durable.
