The Pockels effect or Pockels electro-optic effect, named after Friedrich Carl Alwin Pockels (who studied the effect in 1893), changes or produces birefringence in an optical medium induced by an electric field. In the Pockels effect, also known as the linear electro-optic effect, the birefringence is proportional to the electric field. In the Kerr effect, the refractive index change (birefringence) is proportional to the square of the field. The Pockels effect occurs only in crystals that lack inversion symmetry, such as KH2PO4 (KDP), KD2PO4 (KD*P or DKDP), lithium niobate (LiNbO3), and in other non-centrosymmetric media such as electric-field poled polymers or glasses. The electro-optic properties of materials like KDP and its isomorphs that exhibits that Pockels effect has been extensively studied over the years to allow accurate models for simulations.

Teach Astronomy - Doppler Effect
http://www.teachastronomy.com/ The Doppler Effect is the shift of wavelength or frequency of a source of waves due to the motion of that source of waves. Doppler Effect is most familiar in terms of sound waves. As a source of sound, such as a siren, approaches you, the pitch or frequency

Why Should we REPORT Effect Size for Hypothesis Tests (16-10)
Significance tells us that the effect was likely not due to chance. Effect size is a standardized measure of how large the effect was. Cohen’s d is the most commonly used measure of effect size for t tests. There are three statistical reasons to report an effect size: if generalization is
