How can stroboscopes “slow things down”?
Stroboscopes flash light in quick succession. This is achieved with a lamp that has a rotating disc in front of it. The disc has holes in it, resulting in a quickly flashing light when the disc spins. Alternatively, lamps such as flashtubes can flash quickly and repetitively by itself without wearing down too quick.
How does this result in things slowing down?
When you flash a bright light on an object, your eye perceives the bright moments much better. If the flashing has a frequency that is around the frequency of the movement that is being observed, your eye will only see the movement in the same position all the time. If you speed up or slow down the flashing frequency slightly, the movement will reappear in extreme slow-motion forwards or backwards. Things can get downright Matrix-esque.
Why use stroboscopes?
When you want to study quickly rotating, oscillating or vibrating objects, stroboscopes are the answer. If repetitive machines don’t perform as desired, the balance and performance can be studied by breaking the usually much too quick movement of the machine into smaller movements that can be perceived with the human eye.
Handheld stroboscopes are a mechanics’ best friend. You can find loose belts, springs and valves much easier.
