Detailed explanation-1: -The so-called phi phenomenon is an illusion of movement that arises when stationary objects-light bulbs, for example-are placed side by side and illuminated rapidly one after another.
Detailed explanation-2: -Phi Phenomenon: an illusion of movement created when two or more adjacent lights blink on and off in quick succession, like Christmas lights. Perceptual constancy: perceiving objects as unchanging (having consistent shapes, size, lightness, and color) even as illumination and retinal images change.
