Provides a list of equipment and instructions for taking close-up photographs for classroom use. (SK)

Describes the production and use of color videocassettes with an inexpensive, conventional TV camera and an ordinary petrographic microscope. The videocassettes are used in optical mineralogy and petrology courses. (Author/WB)

A "gedanken photograph" of a relativistic meter stick is analyzed at a level appropriate for undergraduate students. Aspects of the photographic process are analyzed in the frame of the moving meter stick. (Author/SK)

Gives an outline of a physics course for fine arts students majoring in photography and for other nonscience students interested in photography. (MLH)

Describes an inexpensive fog machine that is useful for photography and laser demonstrations. The apparatus uses liquid nitrogen to chill steam to make a fine mist safe for precision optics. The device can be made for around $50. (MVL)

Describes high-speed photographic methods used to demonstrate that the tip of a snapped towel does break the sound barrier. (ZWH)

Recommends that teachers make use of the motivation that many young people devote to hobbies. Gives examples of this approach including the study of force, speed, work, power and various electrical concepts with model trains; acceleration and velocity with rocketry; focal length, magnification, field of view with astronomy and photography. (GS)

Describes an experiment for recording holograms using a minimum of costly apparatus. Includes a description of apparatus and materials, the procedure for recording the hologram, the processing of the hologram, and the reconstruction of the image. (GS)

This document describes cameras, film, and methods useful for indoor or outdoor photography of aquatic and marine subjects. (SL)

Describes a physics course, Biomechanics, designed for physical education majors, where stroboscopic photography is used to provide student data to calculate average velocities of objects in different sport activities. (GA)

Provides background information on and experiments for determining the spectra of streetlights. Procedures for taking photographs of the spectra produced are included as well as discussions of sodium and mercury spectra. (JN)

Reviews current research interests in photographic chemistry, involving two proposed models for spectral sensitization of crystal defects and impurities in the photolysis reactivity and the mechanisms of development and complexation. Establishment of photographic chemistry in a chemistry curriculum is recommended. (CC)
