In trying to minimise errors that come with using a tape in linear measurements, Mapalo suggested to the class that an EDM be used to compute the distance from BM1 to point A. A distance of 2122.241m was measured. Given that a frequency of 1.4985MHz was used, speed of light c = 299792458m/s, the refraction index of 1.0003 and that the effective wavelength measures to a centimetre, determine the phase measurement (i.e. Phase Distance and the corresponding Phase angle)
