Examples of effectiveness in the following topics:

  • Effects of the Agricultural Revolution

  • The Effect of Events in Europe on Mexico

  • The Doppler Effect

    • The Doppler Effect is the change in a wave's perceived frequency that results from the source's motion, the observer, and the medium.
    • The Doppler effect is a periodic event's change in frequency for an observer in motion relative to the event's source.
    • Most people have experienced the Doppler effect in action.
    • The Doppler effect can be caused by any kind of motion.
    • If the observer moves relative to the stationary siren, the observer will notice the Doppler effect on the pitch of the siren.

  • Cohen's d

    • The concept of effect size already appears in everyday language.
    • In this case, 30 pounds is an indicator of the claimed effect size.
    • This grade increase is the claimed effect size of the program.
    • Effect sizes are particularly prominent in social and medical research.
    • Cohen's $d$ is an example of a standardized measure of effect.

  • Effects of Drug Combinations

    • Pharmacodynamics is the field that attempts to understand the unintended effects of the use of two or more drugs.
    • It also looks at the mechanisms of drug action and the relationship between drug concentration and effect.
    • Interactions between alcohol and certain antibacterials may occur, cause side-effects, and decrease effectiveness of antibacterial therapy.
    • Potential risks of side-effects and effectiveness depend on the type of antibacterial administered.
    • Additionally, when dealing with a microbial infection, sometimes the use of two or more antibiotics can effectively combat the infection while each drug individually has little or no effect.

  • The Photoelectric Effect

    • Electrons are emitted from matter that is absorbing energy from electromagnetic radiation, resulting in the photoelectric effect.
    • This is called the photoelectric effect, and the electrons emitted in this manner are called photoelectrons.
    • The photoelectric effect is also widely used to investigate electron energy levels in matter.
    • Heinrich Hertz discovered the photoelectric effect in 1887.
    • Explain how the photoelectric effect paradox was solved by Albert Einstein.

  • The Compton Effect

    • The Compton Effect is the phenomenon of the decrease in energy of photon when scattered by a free charged particle.
    • Still, the origin of the effect can be considered as an elastic collision between a photon and an electron.
    • However, the effect will become arbitrarily small at sufficiently low light intensities regardless of wavelength.
    • The Compton Effect is the name given to the scattering of a photon by an electron.
    • Studying this effect, Compton verified that photons have momentum.

  • Using Supporting Materials Effectively

    • Supporting materials are effective only if they help persuade the audience.
    • Supporting materials are effective only if they help to persuade the audience.
    • It is the speaker's job to determine what supporting materials will be most comprehensible and effective.
    • If the audience cannot see the chart, then it will not be understood or effective.
    • The same goes for other types of supporting materials; they are only effective if they can convince the audience.

  • Biological Effects of Radiation

    • The genetic effects of radiation, including the effects on cancer risk, were recognized much later.
    • In 1927, Hermann Joseph Muller published research showing genetic effects.
    • Radiation-induced cancer, teratogenesis, cognitive decline, and heart disease are all examples of stochastic effects.
    • Deterministic effects are not necessarily more or less serious than stochastic effects; either can ultimately lead to damage ranging from a temporary nuisance to death.
    • Quantitative data on the effects of ionizing radiation on human health are relatively limited compared to other medical conditions because of the low number of cases to date and because of the stochastic nature of some of the effects.

  • Substance Abuse and Health

    • Substance abuse, or the habitual, harmful use of drugs, can have detrimental effects on the mind and body.
    • Substance abuse can have a variety of detrimental effects on the mind and body of the user.
    • Even worse is that the negative psychological side effects of substance use put abusers at a increased risk of suicide.
    • Substance abuse can also lead to secondary physical effects.
    • Another array of secondary (physical) effects manifests if the user stops taking regular doses of the substance.
