Thus, for the dimensions of typical class and lab rooms, time delays are generally less than 50 milliseconds, and are therefore difficult to measure without specialized equipment. Digital oscilloscopes can easily resolve time differences several orders of magnitude less than one millisecond, and thus are a good candidate for this exercise.
