Optics
The Shadow Catcher
← All Exhibits Book a Visit
Stand in front of the glowing wall, wait for the flash, and step away: your shadow stays behind.
The wall is coated with a paint that stores light and slowly glows it back. Where your body blocked the flash, the wall wasn’t charged, so your shadow remains as a dark shape until the glow fades.
Make a pose before the flash. How long does your shadow stay on the wall?
