Practical circuits — practice question

A student employs a cathode-ray oscilloscope (CRO) to determine the period of a signal. She adjusts the CRO time-base to $5\ \text{ms cm}^{-1}$ and views the trace shown below. The trace measures $10.0\ \text{cm}$ in length. What is the period of the signal?

  • A$7.1 \times 10^{-6}\ \text{s}$
  • B$1.4 \times 10^{-5}\ \text{s}$
  • C$7.1 \times 10^{-3}\ \text{s}$
  • D$1.4 \times 10^{-2}\ \text{s}$
