phenomenon

Examples of phenomenon in the following topics:

• Raynaud's Phenomenon

  • Raynaud's phenomenon is a vasospastic disorder that causes discoloration of the fingers and toes in response to cold or stress.
  • Raynaud's phenomenon is a vasospastic disorder causing discoloration of the fingers, toes, and occasionally other areas .
  • Stress and cold are classic triggers of the phenomenon.
  • Chronic, recurrent cases of Raynaud phenomenon can result in atrophy of the skin, subcutaneous tissues, and muscle.
  • Raynaud's syndrome is treated primarily by addressing the underlying cause of the phenomenon.

• Dieletrics and their Breakdown

  • Dielectric breakdown is the phenomenon in which a dielectric loses its ability to insulate, and instead becomes a conductor.
  • Dielectric breakdown (illustrated in ) is the phenomenon in which a dielectric loses its ability to insulate, and instead becomes a conductor.
  • Gaseous dielectrics commonly experience breakdown in nature (the phenomenon of lightning is the most common example).

• Refraction

  • Refraction is a surface phenomenon that occurs as the change in direction of a wave due to a change in its medium.
  • Essentially, it is a surface phenomenon—mainly in governance to the law of conservation of energy and momentum.
  • Refraction of light is the most commonly observed phenomenon, but any type of wave can refract when it interacts with a medium (e.g., when sound waves pass from one medium into another or when water waves move into water of a different depth).
  • In optics, refraction is a phenomenon that often occurs when waves travel from a medium with a given refractive index to a medium with another at an oblique angle.

• Closing the Feedback Loop

  • Feedback is the process where past information influences the a similar phenomenon in the present or future.
  • Feedback is a process in which information about the past or the present influences the same phenomenon in the present or future.

• Electrostatic Shielding

  • Electrostatic shielding is the phenomenon that occurs when a Faraday cage blocks the effects of an electric field.
  • Electrostatic shielding is the phenomenon that is observed when a Faraday cage operates to block the effects of an electric field.

• The Compton Effect

  • The Compton Effect is the phenomenon of the decrease in energy of photon when scattered by a free charged particle.
  • The Compton effect is important because it demonstrates that light cannot be explained purely as a wave phenomenon.

• Diffraction

  • In classical physics, the diffraction phenomenon is described as the apparent bending of waves around small obstacles and the spreading out of waves past small openings.
  • The speckle pattern which is observed when laser light falls on an optically rough surface is also a diffraction phenomenon.

• Women in the Workplace

  • Women's participation in the workforce has been a relatively recent phenomenon and is still associated with many continuing challenges.
  • Women's participation in the workforce has been a relatively recent phenomenon.

• Perceiving Motion

  • The phi phenomenon is an illusion involving a regular sequence of luminous impulses.
  • The phi phenomenon explains how early animation worked: it involves taking a series of still images that change slightly, and moving through them very quickly so that the image appears to be moving, rather than the series of still images that it is.
  • In the phi phenomenon, it appears that the unlit section is "moving" around the circle rather than a series of bulbs going out one at a time.

• Conditions for Wave Interference: Reflection due to Phase Change

  • Interference is a phenomenon in which two waves superimpose to form a resultant wave of greater or lesser amplitude.
  • Interference is a phenomenon in which two waves superimpose to form a resultant wave of greater or lesser amplitude.
