Problem 4. The circuit below models the scenario where one is trying to display a square wave from a function generator on an oscilloscope in the laboratory. We are using a 50 Ohm square wave generator to create a ±5 V square wave v(t) with 3 different frequencies. The frequency f 0 of the square wave is related to its period T 0 by f 0 = 1/T 0. The output of the square wave generator is connected to the input of the oscilloscope using a section of coaxial cable. Models for each of the components of the system are connected as shown. Measurements of 3 different frequencies are taken. The resulting oscilloscope voltages vscope(t) are shown as the three superimposed Traces in the figure below the circuit. Note that the oscilloscope time scale is adjusted for each measurement such that exactly 2.5 periods are displayed in each case. From the possibilities below pick the most reasonable answer for the frequencies corre- sponding to Traces 1, 2, and 3.
f 0 ,T race 1 = 500 MHz f 0 ,T race 2 = 50 MHz f 0 ,T race 3 = 5 MHz
f 0 ,T race 1 = 500 KHz f 0 ,T race 2 = 50 KHz f 0 ,T race 3 = 5 KHz
f 0 ,T race 1 = 5 MHz f 0 ,T race 2 = 50 MHz f 0 ,T race 3 = 500 MHz
f 0 ,T race 1 = 50 MHz f 0 ,T race 2 = 500 MHz f 0 ,T race 3 = 5 MHz
f 0 ,T race 1 = 5 KHz f 0 ,T race 2 = 50 KHz f 0 ,T race 3 = 500 KHz
f 0 ,T race 1 = 50 KHz f 0 ,T race 2 = 500 KHz f 0 ,T race 3 = 5 KHz
f 0 ,T race 1 = 50 GHz f 0 ,T race 2 = 500 GHz f 0 ,T race 3 = 5 GHz
