relativistic effect
11Sokolov-Ternov effect — The Sokolov Ternov effect is the effect of self polarization of relativistic electrons or positrons moving at high energy in a magnetic field. The self polarization occurs through the emission of spin flip synchrotron radiation. The effect was… …
12Stark effect — The Stark effect is the shifting and splitting of spectral lines of atoms and molecules due to the presence of an external static electric field. The amount of splitting and or shifting is called the Stark splitting or Stark shift. In general one …
13Unruh effect — The Unruh effect (or sometimes Fulling–Davies–Unruh effect), was first described by Stephen Fulling in 1973, Paul Davies in 1975 and Bill Unruh in 1976.[1][2][3] It is the prediction that an accelerating observer will observe black body radiation …
14Sagnac effect — The Sagnac effect (also called Sagnac Interference), named after French physicist Georges Sagnac, is a phenomenon encountered in interferometry that is elicited by rotation. The Sagnac effect manifests itself in a setup called ring interferometry …
15Ramsauer-Townsend effect — The Ramsauer Townsend effect is a physical phenomenon involving the scattering of low energy electrons by atoms of a noble gas. Since its explanation requires the wave theory of quantum mechanics, it demonstrates the need for physical theories… …
16Redshift — This article is about the astronomical phenomenon. For other uses, see Redshift (disambiguation). Physical cosmology …
17Status of special relativity — Special relativity (SR) is usually concerned with the behaviour of objects and observers (inertial reference systems) which remain at rest or are moving at a constant velocity. In this case, the observer is said to be in an inertial frame of… …
18Synchrotron radiation — This article concerns the physical phenomenon of synchrotron radiation. For details on the production of this radiation and applications in laboratories, see Synchrotron light source. The electromagnetic radiation emitted when charged particles… …
19physical science, principles of — Introduction the procedures and concepts employed by those who study the inorganic world. physical science, like all the natural sciences, is concerned with describing and relating to one another those experiences of the surrounding… …
20Hafele–Keating experiment — The Hafele–Keating experiment was a test of the theory of relativity. In October of 1971, J. C. Hafele and Richard E. Keating took four caesium beam atomic clocks aboard commercial airliners and flew twice around the world, first eastward, then… …
