If light pressure were the cause of the rotation, then the better the vacuum in the bulb, the less air resistance to movement, and the faster the vanes should spin. In 1901, with a better vacuum pump, Pyotr Lebedev showed that in fact, the radiometer only works when there is low-pressure gas in the bulb, and the vanes stay motionless in a hard ...

Colour distribution of a Newton disk. The Newton disk, also known as the disappearing color disk, is a well-known physics experiment with a rotating disk with segments in different colors (usually Newton's primary colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet, commonly known by the abbreviation ROYGBIV) appearing as white (or off-white or grey) when it's spun rapidly about its axis.
The wagon-wheel effect (alternatively called stagecoach-wheel effect) is an optical illusion in which a spoked wheel appears to rotate differently from its true rotation. The wheel can appear to rotate more slowly than the true rotation, it can appear stationary, or it can appear to rotate in the opposite direction from the true rotation ...

TikTok users are trying to help out a confused husband who is bewildered by one of his wife’s “weird” garments that has “no head hole.”
Stroboscopic effect is one of the particular temporal light artefacts.In common lighting applications, the stroboscopic effect is an unwanted effect which may become visible if a person is looking at a moving or rotating object which is illuminated by a time-modulated light source.
