Steps:
1. Show the input square wave on the scope.
2. Connect a long cable with an open circuit on the far end, and show the new (input + reflection)
waveform on the scope. The speed of light can be calculated using the length of the cable and the delay
between the input transition and the arrival of the reflection.
3. Terminate the cable using the 50 Ohm termination, and show the reflection disappears.
