==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
A '''light gate''' is a sensor which can be connected to a [[Data Logger|data logger]] to [[measure]] and record the [[speed]] of an [[object]] and the [[time]] taken between '''light gates'''.
===About Light Gates===
: '''Light gates''' use a [[LASER]] beam which can be broken to tell when an [[object]] passes through.
==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
A '''light gate''' is a sensor which can be connected to a [[Data Logger|data logger]] to [[measure]] and record the [[speed]] of an [[object]] and the [[time]] taken between '''light gates'''.
===About Light Gates===
: '''Light gates''' use a [[LASER]] beam which can be broken to tell when an [[object]] passes through.
: The [[Data Logger|data logger]] must be programmed with the length of the [[object]] for the '''light gate''' to be used to calculate the [[speed]] of the [[object]].
