Spinning Lights Observations To be completed in your notebook Pre-Lab: An object has a light on it that blinks at an even interval (i.e. 100 times a second). A long exposure image is taken in the dark of this object in motion. 1. Describe how this image would look if the object were moving slowly. 2. Describe how this image would look if the object were moving quickly. 3. Describe the word “period” in terms of cyclic motion. Materials: Blinky Lights Rotating disc (lazy susan) or bicycle wheel Clay Procedure: 1. Copy this table into your notebook: Relative Speed Light at Center Light halfway Light at edge

Period

2. Attach one blinky light to the center of the wheel so that the light is as close to the center of the rotating disc. Make sure that it is firmly attached. 3. Attach a second blinky light firmly about halfway from the center to the outer edge. 4. Attach the third blinky light as close to the outer edge as possible and still be firmly attached. 5. Turn each of the lights to the “dim” session by clicking on it twice (once turns it on, two times is dim and three times is a slow blink). 6. With the room lights off spin your rotating disc slowly and observe. Try taking a picture (without the flash) to compare. The best pictures would be less than one full rotation. 7. With the room lights still off spin your rotating disc more quickly. Try taking a picture (without the flash) to compare. The best pictures would be less than one full rotation. 8. Under the “Relative Speed” column rank the lights’ speeds by describing them, i.e. “fastest,” “fast” or “slow.” 9. Think about your pre-lab definition of “Period” and refer to your pictures (or spin the rotating disc again). Fill in the “Period” column with a description for each light. Analyzing: Underneath your data table, write “Analyzing” and you will answer the questions below in complete sentences. Don’t forget to number your answers! 4. Based on your observations discuss the relationship between radius and relative speed of the lights. 5. Based on your observations discuss the relationship between radius and period of the lights. Applying: Underneath your Analyzing questions, write “Applying” and you will answer the questions below in complete sentences. Don’t forget to number your answers! 6. Each light on the disc has to rotate at the same rate as the disc itself. Explain why you see the lights moving at different speeds at different locations based on your observations.
