Experimental Activities in General Physics with Digital Photography and Video

Abstract

From its invention, photography is used for investigations on Physics and Astronomy. In the last century that technology occasionally was used for measurements in Physics education. Now we are using computers and digital cameras like general equipment in the laboratory and we are using them systematically for exposition and resolution of experimental problems. In our work we show a set of experimental activities using the modern photographic techniques. We show software Análisis de Imágenes, created by us for measurements on photos and videos. We have included thematic related to mechanics, thermal motion, optic, particles and relativity.
