One form of this phenomenon accounts for the one-half term reconciling the doublet separation inhydrogen fine structure with the LandÃ© g factor. This phenomenon is the observable result offrame-dragging on a particle near a large mass. Pure forms of it occur when nutation is constant.Classically, the frequency of this phenomenon can be calculated as the spin torque divided by the angularmomentum of the larger rotation. Relativistic forms of this phenomenon are named for de Sitter andThomas. The rate of this phenomenon for the perihelion of Mercury was an important verification ofgeneral relativity. It occurs in torque-free and torque-induced forms. For 10 points, name this phenomenonin which the axis of rotation changes orientation.
