Stroboscope Simulation
Description:
This interactive simulation demonstrates the effect of a stroboscope illuminating a rotating disk. You can adjust both the rotation speed of the disk and the flashing frequency of the stroboscope to observe how motion is perceived under periodic illumination.
By experimenting with different frequency-speed combinations, you can:
-
Observe stationary appearance (when the flash matches the rotation)
-
Experience slow apparent motion or reverse apparent motion
-
Understand how the stroboscopic effect produces visual illusions based on synchronization between motion and light
This simulation is ideal for teaching concepts related to periodic motion, perception of motion, and visual physics phenomena in a virtual lab setting.
