Due to persistence of vision, human eye is unable to view events happening in less than ( 1 6 1 ) t h of a second.
So for one blade to be visible the frequency of rotation ( f ) should satisfy:
f ≤ 1 6
2 π ω 1 ≤ 1 6
For 3 blades, the angular velocity ( ω 3 ) satisfies the condition:
2 π ω 3 ≤ 3 1 6
⇒ ( ω 3 ) m a x = 3 3 2 π
⇒ 2 2 2 1 ( ω 3 ) m a x ≃ 2 2 ⋅ 3 ⋅ 7 2 1 ⋅ 3 2 ⋅ 2 2 ≃ 3 2
