Lesson outcome

I can outline how radar guns in speed cameras are used to measure speed and use light gates to measure the speed of a moving object.

A light gate measures the time for a card of a fixed length to pass through it. A radar gun measures changes in the frequency of reflected waves to measure speed. A motion sensor can use reflected ultrasonic wave timings to measure changes in distance to determine speed.
