Abstract:
We present several experiments that can be done using a digital camera or a webcam, including the shapes of shadows cast by lampshades, the trajectories of water jets, the profile of a hanging chain, and caustic figures produced by the reflection of light on mirrors of different forms. The experiments allow for a simple and direct quantitative comparison between theory and experiment. © 2006 American Association of Physics Teachers.
