Beam Oscilloscope

How do I build a break beam sensor?

It's supposed to be similar to the sensor used in home security or the buzzers on convenience store doors. We have 10 ohm resistor connected to a brite LED on one circuit board, and a 1k resistor connected to a CdS photocell on the other. This setup gave a signal when connected to an oscilloscope. Now we can't figure out how to connect the CdS cell to a buzzer.

You need some sort of current buffer or relay between the photocell and buzzer. The buzzer operates at a much higher current than the photocell.

A power FET might be useful here with the point which you monitored on the oscilloscope connected to the gate and the buzzer in series with the drain circuit. Many other devices could be used but all will essentially amplify the current available from the photocell circuit. Sorry I can't post a diagram!

Also, if you need the buzzer to remain activated after the beam continuity is restored you will need to add some sort of timer or latch circuitry.

iMSO-104 iPad Oscilloscope $299.99 iMSO-104 is the first mixed signal oscilloscope designed specifically for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. It is intuitive and easy to use, which is why it's the preferred scope for the next generation of inventors. (The kind of inventors we sometimes hire here at ThinkGeek.) Intuitive hand gestures are used to navigate: Trigger Level - Setting the analog trigger level is as easy as touching the right side of the screen and swiping either up or down. Zooming – Changing the vertical & horizontal scales can be done by moving two fingers away from each other. To zoom out, simply pinch the screen moving two fingers toward each other. Repositioning Channels - Both the analog and digital channels are also easy to reposition. Touch and swipe the desired channel to any position on the screen to customize your display. But don’t take our word for it. Download iMSO in the App Store and test drive the interface for free! Oscium is making test equipment more intuitive so that the inventor can spend more time debugging than fumbling with the test equipment interface. And less time wasted fumbling with crappy test equipment equals more awesome inventions.

A beam of electrons traveling with a speed of...?

A beam of electrons traveling with a speed of 3.0 × 107 m/s enters a uniform, downward electric field of magnitude 1.0 × 104 N/C between the deflection plates of an oscilloscope (the figure below ). The initial velocity of the electrons is perpendicular to the field. The plates are 6.0 cm long.
(a) What is the direction and magnitude of the change in velocity of the electrons while they are between the plates?
m/s ---Select--- upward downward
(b) How far are the electrons deflected in the y direction while between the plates?
mm

(a) direction is upward towards to the plate.

F = eE = ma

change in velocity = dv/dt = a = eE/m

= (1.602×10^–19 )(10^4) / (9.11×10^–31)
= 1.76 x 10^15 m/s²

(b) x = 0.06 m

t = x/v = (0.06)/(3.0x10^7) = 2 nanoseconds

y = ½at² = (0.5) (1.76x10^15) (2x10^-9)² = 3.52 mm
