  2. Doorway effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doorway_effect

    Research on the doorway effect involves having people navigate virtual environments while picking up and putting down various objects. During these experiments, participants were given the names of these objects either (1) as they moved across a large room or (2) when they entered a new room (a spatial change).

  3. List of effects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_effects

    Edison effect (atomic physics) (electricity) (Thomas Edison) (vacuum tubes) Efimov effect (physics) Einstein effect (disambiguation), several different effects in physics; Einstein–de Haas effect (science) Electro-optic effect (nonlinear optics) Electrocaloric effect (cooling technology) (heat pumps) Electron-cloud effect (particle ...

  4. Ladder paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladder_paradox

    The effect of the impact can propagate outward from A no faster than the speed of light, so the back of the ladder will never feel the effects of the impact until point F (note the 45° angle of the line A-F, corresponding to the speed of light transmission of information) or later, at which time the ladder is well within the garage in both frames.

  5. Virtual particle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_particle

    A virtual particle is a theoretical transient particle that exhibits some of the characteristics of an ordinary particle, while having its existence limited by the uncertainty principle, which allows the virtual particles to spontaneously emerge from vacuum at short time and space ranges. [1]

  6. James Woodward (physicist) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Woodward_(physicist)

    James F. Woodward (born 1941) [citation needed] is a professor emeritus of history and an adjunct professor of physics at California State University, Fullerton.He is best known for a physics hypothesis that he proposed in 1990, later expanded, that predicts several physical effects that he refers to as 'Mach effects'.

  7. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    A reference to these two aspects of electromagnetic induction is made in some modern textbooks. [34] As Richard Feynman states: So the "flux rule" that the emf in a circuit is equal to the rate of change of the magnetic flux through the circuit applies whether the flux changes because the field changes or because the circuit moves (or both) ...

  8. Edwin Hall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Hall

    The Hall effect was discovered by Hall in 1879, while working on his doctoral thesis in Physics under the supervision of Henry Augustus Rowland. [1] Hall's experiments in electromagnetics consisted of exposing thin gold leaf (and, later, using various other materials) on a glass plate and tapping off the gold leaf at points down its length.

  9. Magneto-optic effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magneto-optic_effect

    A magneto-optic effect is any one of a number of phenomena in which an electromagnetic wave propagates through a medium that has been altered by the presence of a quasistatic magnetic field. In such a medium, which is also called gyrotropic or gyromagnetic , left- and right-rotating elliptical polarizations can propagate at different speeds ...
