Water Splash (top)


Download Clip (706 Kb)

This is a clip of a water splash from a high angle. The drop of water fell through a photogate trigger to start the video camera. The trigger consists of an infrared emitter and reciever. When the drop hits the surface of the water, it forms a "crater" in the water. When this indentation falls back onto itself, it forms the high column of water. This video was taken at a framerate of 1000 frames/sec and with a shutter speed of 10X, or 1/10000th of a second.
