We have studied the timing and light yield characteristics of long and thin scintillator samples of various sizes. Both the light yield and the time resolution degrade exponentially with respect to the distance from one end; the inverse slope parameters for the time resolutions are found to be twice those of the light yield. This is interpreted in terms of a photoelectron statistics picture, which can also explain the observed position dependence of time resolution for time-of-flight counters.
