Such, at least, is the traditional wisdom. But it is not adequate to our time. . . . Today the distinction between pure and applied science is disappearing with the growth of state power so imperious and technologically competent, that it can transform the most esoteric knowledge into techniques of terror...

The oscilloscope then converts the electrical energy into light...
