The most likely reason for this is that the exposure time was not short enough to freeze the motion. In contrast, modern ultrahigh-speed cameras can take up to a million images every second and can capture motion that is normally imperceptible to the human eye. By projecting the photographs on a screen in sequence, the action can be replayed in slow motion. While these techniques are ideal for studying macroscopic objects, how can we possibly follow the motion of atoms and electrons?Read More
