How Does a Rangefinder Use Physics?

  • Simply put, a laser rangefinder uses the speed of light and the time it takes for a laser beam to leave the rangefinder, bounce of the object you're ranging, and return to a receiver in the rangefinder to calculate the distance of the object.
  • Rangefinders or Laser Range Modules are used in variety of settings and are thought of as the greatest breakthrough in the world of laser technology. They are used in everything from the golf course, to the military, to the use of LIDAR for measuring distance in topographic and bathymetric systems.
