Shallow Water Splash


Download Clip (504 Kb)

This type of splash is a little different from those formed in deep water. This splash was made on a thin film of water, using the same photogate technique as the other splashes. This splash does not create a column at the end, and the "crater" formed has much higher walls than those made in deep water splashes. Also, right at the beginning of the splash, there is a crown of water visible for an instant. The framerate for this video was 1000 frames/sec, and the shutter speed was 4X, or 1/4000th of a second.
