Shattering Light Bulb


Download Clip (1.77 Mb)

This clip shows a light bulb being shattered by a hammer strike. The break is much less isolated than the bulb that was shot with a dart. Since the hammer's head has a relatively large surface area, the break pattern is very spread out. This video was taken at a framerate of 2000 frames/sec, with a shutter speed of 4X, or 1/8000th of a second.
