1. Moirenoun

   A wavy pattern of lines produced by the superposition of two patterns having closely spaced, often curved, lines, so that the lines of the two patterns intersect at an acute angle. When the superposing patterns are moved relative to the observer or relative to each other, a shimmering effect is produced in which the apparent pattern changes, often producing a pleasing artistic effect. The effect may be seen, for example, when the superposed folds of a sheer fabric, such as a window curtain, are observed with transmitted light.

2. Moirenoun

   (Printing) An interference pattern produced by the dots of a color printing process.

1. moiré

   In mathematics, physics, and art, moiré patterns (UK: MWAR-ay, US: mwar-AY, French: [mwaʁe] (listen)) or moiré fringes are large-scale interference patterns that can be produced when an opaque ruled pattern with transparent gaps is overlaid on another similar pattern. For the moiré interference pattern to appear, the two patterns must not be completely identical, but rather displaced, rotated, or have slightly different pitch. Moiré patterns appear in many situations. In printing, the printed pattern of dots can interfere with the image. In television and digital photography, a pattern on an object being photographed can interfere with the shape of the light sensors to generate unwanted artifacts. They are also sometimes created deliberately – in micrometers they are used to amplify the effects of very small movements. In physics, its manifestation is wave interference such as that seen in the double-slit experiment and the beat phenomenon in acoustics.

1. moire

   Moire is a visual perception that occurs when viewing a set of lines or dots that is superimposed on another set, where the sets differ in relative size, angle, or spacing. This effect usually creates wave-like patterns or different shapes. It can sometimes be seen in fabric, print, digital screens, or other contexts.
