Strobe LIghts!

This past weekend, I went to sophmore banquet and had a great time. The food was alright and Brad Lawson's band was playing super awesome music. When the dinner was over and it was time to hit the dance floor, physics took full effect. The strobe light was one of the first things I noticed while dancing. Because the frequency of the light waves is less than if a light was simply turned on, it seemed as if everyone was moving in slow motion. Similarly to physics class, people's faces seemed entirely different everytime the light flashed. Another physics effect that took place, was the speakers blasting music. As I moved from one end of the dancefloor to the other side, the music sounded slightly different. This was most likely due to the sound waves bouncing off different types of surfaces before being heard by my ears. Also, the music was blasting with such powerful amplitude that it felt as if the ground was shaking. I could actually see part of the speaker vibrating during down beats in the rap songs that were being played. (Sorry, some of the pictures I took didnt come out good at all)
