Wait'll I tell Waffles our Red Dot is...
BLUE.
Allie: It looks more violet, if you ask me, Maxie.
Faraday: Uh, Maxie? Don't look now...
But it just turned green and...and...made babies or something!
Holy cat, we'll never catch them all!
Call the exterminator, Allie! We're infested!!
About the Lasers
Our dad loves scientific gadgets, and when he saw a 405 nanometer blue-violet laser, he just had to buy it. And then he found a 532 nm green laser!
He only bought one of each, honest.
What you're seeing in that last photo is an optical effect. It's a single laser shining through a diffraction grating. It splits the laser into a multiple dot pattern.
Boy, the kitties will NEVER catch all those!

I am kind of glad I live with a musician instead of a physicist! I don't know if I could take that many red-violet-green dots!
ReplyDeleteOMC, dat are a ton of dots! I'd go nuts.
ReplyDeleteMy boys love chasing lasers. The gadget your dad got is very cool. So those dots change patterns? It must be really fun (or exhausting!) to catch all of them :-)
