Scanning for time: Science and art on a photocopier

Physics Education 2018-12-27 v1 Popular Physics

Abstract

Combine the scanning properties of a common office photocopier with an object in motion to create stunning imagery. Produce a scan or hard copy that records the artifact of two motions, the moving object and the moving photocopier scan bar. Images illustrate and allow for analysis a variety of physical characteristics that happen over time: wavelength, frequency, amplitude and other wave and rotational properties. Investigate vibrational and rotational motion just by the press of a button!
