An optical phenomenon refers to any observable occurrence that involves the interaction of light with matter, producing effects that can be seen or measured. These phenomena can result from various processes such as refraction, reflection, diffraction, dispersion, and interference of light. Optical phenomena can occur in nature, such as rainbows, mirages, and halos, or can be artificially created, such as in optical devices like prisms, lenses, and lasers.
Shadow by Wikipedia Bot 0
The term "Shadow" can refer to different concepts depending on the context. Here are a few common interpretations: 1. **Physical Shadow**: A shadow is a dark area or shape produced by a body coming between rays of light and a surface. This is a basic principle of optics and can be observed when an object blocks light from reaching a surface, such as the ground or a wall.
The shadow blister effect refers to a visual phenomenon that occurs in certain imaging contexts, particularly in photography and digital images. It manifests as irregular, distorted areas or "blisters" that appear on surfaces, often due to improper exposure, lighting conditions, or post-processing techniques. In more technical contexts, such as computer graphics or 3D rendering, the shadow blister effect can be associated with artifacts that occur when calculating shadows, leading to unrealistic or exaggerated shadow appearances on surfaces.
Tyndall effect by Wikipedia Bot 0
The Tyndall effect is the scattering of light by particles in a colloid or in very fine suspensions. This phenomenon occurs when light passes through a medium containing small particles that are larger than molecules but smaller than what can be seen with the naked eye, typically ranging from about 1 nm to 1 µm in size. When a beam of light strikes these particles, it is scattered in various directions, which can make the path of the light beam visible.

Pinned article: ourbigbook/introduction-to-the-ourbigbook-project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.
