    PHYSICS PROJECT

    STROBOSCOPIC
    EFFECT
    DEFINITION

    The stroboscopic effect is a visual phenomenon that occurs when


    continuous rotational or other cyclic motion is represented by a series of
    short or instantaneous samples at a rate close to the period of the motion.
    A strobe fountain, a stream of water droplets falling at regular intervals lit
    with a strobe light, is an example of the stroboscopic effect being applied to
    a cyclic motion that is not rotational. When viewed under normal light, this is
    a normal water fountain. When viewed under a strobe light with its
    frequency tuned to the rate at which the droplets fall, the droplets appear to
    be suspended in mid-air. Adjusting the strobe frequency can make the
    droplets seemingly move slowly up or down.

    For the stroboscopic effect to work well, the frequency of the strobe light
    must be above the flicker fusion threshold. This means that the light will
    flash fast enough that your eye perceives continuous illumination instead of
    flickering light. Sometimes this effect is also called persistence of vision.
    OBJECTIVE
    Design and build a "levitating water" fountain that can make
    it look like water drops are moving upward.
    DIAGRAM
    MATERIALS REQUIRED
    Small water pump
    1:
    Power supply compatible
    2:
    with pump.
    3:
    Flexible tubing

    4: Clamp
    5: Tape
    6: Bowl or other container

    7: Water
    8: cardboard
    9: Phone or tablet with a
    strobe light app.
    WORKING
    1. Build a frame to support the tubing about one foot above a container of
    water.

    2. Fill a container of water and place it at the bottom of the frame.

    3. Place the pump directly in the container of water, with a tube going into the
    water.
    WORKING
    4. Attach tubing to the exit nozzle of your pump, run it up along the frame, and
    point the end down into the container of water. Attach the tubing to the frame
    with tape to hold it in place.

    5. Connect the power supply to your pump.

    6. Watch the water flowing out of the tubing. If the water comes out as a rapid
    series of drops, you need to slow the water flow down. Place a C-clamp over
    the tubing. Tighten the clamp to adjust the water flow rate until it falls as a
    rapid series of drops.
    APPLICATIONS
    *Motion Analysis*: It is used to study and analyze rapid motions that are
    otherwise difficult to observe with the naked eye. For instance, engineers and
    scientists use strobe lights to examine the vibration of machinery or the motion
    of high-speed components.

    *Entertainment and Art*: The effect is employed in theater, concerts, and


    dance performances to create visual illusions and dynamic visual effects. It can
    make movements appear jerky, slow-motion, or even reverse, adding to the
    artistic expression.

    *Industrial Applications*: In manufacturing and mechanical systems,


    stroboscopic lights help monitor and diagnose problems in rotating machinery.
    It can reveal defects or irregularities in machinery parts by making them appear
    stationary or in slow motion.
    APPLICATIONS
    *Photography and Cinematography*: The stroboscopic effect is utilized in
    photography to capture multiple phases of a subject's motion in a single
    exposure, resulting in a composite image that shows different stages of
    movement.

    *Scientific Research*: In physics and biology, the effect aids in the observation
    of phenomena that occur at high speeds, such as the motion of particles in fluid
    dynamics or the rapid movements of small organisms.

    Overall, the stroboscopic effect provides a powerful tool for visualizing and
    analyzing motion, enhancing artistic expression, and improving industrial
    processes through detailed observation and diagnostics.
    RESULT
    The number of drops falling per second is called the
    frequency. The stroboscopic effect can make it look like the
    water drops are moving up.
