A discrepancy in this phenomenon for the perihelion of Mercury was resolved by general relativity.
This name is given to a method, developed by Buerger, of producing an undistorted picture of the reciprocal lattice in X-ray crystallography. This phenomenon was used by a satellite locked to IM Pegasi, Gravity Probe B, to test general relativity. A relativistic correction named for it results from the noncommutativity of nonaligned Lorentz transforms and reduces the spin-orbit interaction by a factor of two. A discrepancy in this phenomenon for the perihelion of Mercury was resolved by general relativity. It is experienced by a magnetic moment in an external magnetic field in an effect named for Larmor. Small oscillations around the path of this phenomenon are called nutations. For 10 points, identify this phenomenon in which the rotational axis of a body changes direction, an effect which can be illustrated with a gyroscope and is often induced by torque.
