Ok thanks bob.
You are correct.That means I get 20 Mega Samples per cycle.So I get an extremely smooth output waveform from my scope!!
So here comes the secret doubt!!
Does this sample rate & Bandwidth has a relationship?
In other words my Osc bandwidth is 50Mhz.If I feed a 100MHz pulse will this sample rate reduced?

dB is always in power. -3dB is .707 of the voltage. It is 1/2 of the power...........................
The bandwidth is usually specified in terms of the -3db points in the frequency response characteristic. This means that the signal at the bandwidth spec frequency is 3db down from DC, or about 1/2 of the amplitude it would be for DC (or say a 1Hz AC signal).
.............................
At 100MHz (we are talking sine waves here) the signal that shows up on the scope would be even less than 1 division now because it would be attenuated even more at this higher frequency. If the filter has a constant -3db rolloff, then the new signal on the scope would only measure 1/2 of one division.
