Why Light-Barrier Timing Improves on Manual Stopwatches
Human reaction time introduces meaningful error into stopwatch-based motion experiments, especially over short distances or brief intervals. Light-barrier timing removes that variable by triggering the timer automatically as an object passes each beam, giving more consistent and repeatable data across a class. This timer works together with a compatible pair of light barriers positioned along the object’s path. Lab Glassware Manufacturer also supplies the Fork Light Barrier, a compatible sensor accessory for this and other timing apparatus.
Frequently Asked Questions
