Input Impedance - High or Low Resistance?

[physicsalex]

I am working on a physics lab and wonder if an input impendece of +/-10V input 1M (for a voltage probe) is high resistance or low resistance.

Can anyone help?
Thanks!

A 1M probe is fairly "standard" as far as oscilloscopes go. A "10X" probe typically is 10M. There are also "Low Impedance Probes" for high frequency signals. The above article will define them for you, but, in general, 1M is the most common.
