strobe effect
Rapid flash phenomenon
A strobe effect is the visual illusion created when movement is illuminated by rapid flashing light, making continuous motion appear jerky or frozen.
The effect occurs in nightclubs, at concerts, and in film when frame rates interact with rotating objects like helicopter blades or car wheels, sometimes making them appear to spin backward.
