The Nyquist frequency is equal to one-half the sampling rate.
Shannon’s sampling theorem states that a sampled time signal must not contain components at frequencies above the Nyquist frequency. Otherwise, an aliasing error will occur.

Ceiling fan, optical aliasing video: fan_aliased.avi
The ceiling fan appears to change rotational direction several times. In reality, the fan always rotates in the same direction. The optical illusion is due to aliasing.
The frame rate of the video camera was too low to accurately capture the motion. Note that the video footage was decimate to enhance this effect.
