Question

Video program are called movies can you explain the scientific fact that lead to the use of this name.simplify

Answer 1

The term "movie" is short for "moving picture." It describes films that show a series of still images rapidly in succession to create the illusion of motion. This effect is based on a scientific phenomenon called "persistence of vision." This phenomenon occurs because our eyes and brain retain an image for a fraction of a second after it disappears, allowing us to perceive a sequence of images as a continuous motion. So, when these still images are played quickly one after the other, we see them as a moving picture, hence the name "movie."
