Of course it is. I believe you can do it for any speed and light
frequency, sctually.
Interesting--I've run into strobe discs for 45 rpm phono use that
claim that it's only possible to get a 50 Hz strobe lock at 45.1 RPM.
Let's see--45 rpm is 0.75 rev/second. 0.75 of 50 Hz is 37.5, but 75
at 100 Hz. So, a strobe disc with 75 divisions should appear to be
stable with a 100 Hz strobe light.
I wonder why the weasel words, then?
