AI Thread Summary
When selecting an optical chopper system, the chopping frequency significantly impacts the application. Chopping at different frequencies, such as 500Hz versus 900Hz, primarily affects the modulation of the beam and its interaction with the material being tested. Higher frequencies may provide finer control and better resolution in certain applications, while lower frequencies might be sufficient for others. Ultimately, the choice should align with the specific requirements of the intended use. Understanding these differences is crucial for optimizing performance in your work.

hi friends
I am going to buy optical chopper system for my work. But i need some clarification about system. If i want to chop say 2mm diameter of the beam, say it has of chopping frequency from 500Hz to 1000Hz. What is the difference if i chop at 500Hz and 900 Hz except the frequency.

Thank you for advance wishes

Regards

Note the bold in your question that I added for emphasis. The chopping frequency is variable and can be set to any value in the range given. It's up to you depending on your application.
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
