Stroboscope - code: 2238.10

Light from a timing source. A Stroboscope is a pulsed lamp which is used to observe rapidly moving phenomena, such a vibrating string or waves in a Ripple Tank. If the frequency of "flashes" from the Stroboscope matches the frequency of the object being observed, it causes the eye to see the image as having been frozen at that matched frequency. Hence, useful measurements can be made and observations made easy.
