Photographic shutters: better pictures with a reconsideration of shutter efficiency
Applied Optics
|February 20, 2010
Abstract:
An efficient photographic shutter is one which can open and close in small fractions of the exposure time, and this property is generally thought desirable. But no one combination of f/stop and time in an efficient shutter can match the subjective quality, depth of field, and motion stopping ability of certain deliberately inefficient shutters used on automatic cameras. These advantages are derived from a simple optical model by MTF techniques and are confirmed experimentally.

02:26Photoelectric Effect
When light of a particular wavelength strikes a metal surface, electrons are emitted. This is called the photoelectric effect. The minimum frequency of light that can cause such emission of electrons is called the threshold frequency, which is specific to the metal. Light with a frequency lower than the threshold frequency, even if it is of high intensity, cannot initiate the emission of electrons. However, when the frequency is higher than the threshold value, the number of electrons ejected...
01:30RC Circuits: Charging A Capacitor
A circuit containing resistance and capacitance is called an RC circuit. A capacitor is an electrical component that stores electric charge by storing energy in an electric field. Consider a simple RC circuit having a DC (direct current) voltage source ε, a resistor R, a capacitor C, and a two-way position switch. In the circuit, the capacitor can be charged or discharged depending on the position of the switch.
