Applied Physics Lab (LAB-105) Semester: Spring 2025
Lab No. 7 (Amplitude and Freq. measurement) Max Marks: 10
Experiment No. 7
To measure amplitude and frequency using Cathode Ray Oscilloscope (CRO) and Function
Generator.
Equipment
Cathode Ray Oscilloscope (CRO)
Function Generator
Procedure
1. Set the output of Function generator to frequency of 10 KHz with sine wave output.
2. Connect output of Function generator to input of CRO.
3. Observe the waveform and measure its amplitude and time period using CRO controls.
Calculate its amplitude and frequency and compare it with Function generator output.
4. Repeat the above steps for Square wave of 15 KHz and Triangular wave of 20 KHz.
5. Draw all three waveforms in your notebook.
