Физика — область естествознания: наука о простейших и вместе с тем наиболее общих законах природы, о материи, её структуре и движении. Законы физики лежат в основе всего естествознания[1][2]. Термин «физика» впервые фигурирует в сочинениях одного из величайших мыслителей древности — In physics, the shower-curtain effect is the phenomenon in which a shower curtain gets blown inward with a running shower. The problem of the cause of this effect has been featured in Scientific American magazine, with several theories given to explain the phenomenon but no definite conclusion. As a second meaning, the fact that nearby phase front distortions of an optical wave are more severe than remote distortions of the same amplitude is called shower-curtain effect.
