    These videos are amazing, and they’ve totally saved me a handful of times during the mad dash that is summer physics!! I’ve found what works best for me is to watch the video, then read the corresponding textbook chapter, and then watch the video again. The first time watching it, it may not make too much sense. However, after reading the textbook chapter, it’s a super great way to gauge how much you understand and try to get a deeper/more dynamic understanding of the big concepts before moving to working some math problems. Good luck to all of the other physics students out there!!!

    • @Sporkabyte
      @Sporkabyte 7 років тому +1

      Spider-manana I guess the best way to think about it is to take a leaf from chemistry's book and not try to jam it into one definition we already know (referring to resonance here). Rather, it's better to think about light as neither a particle nor a wave, just something else that happens to have attributes of both. Hopefully that helps :)

  • @Monochromicornicopia
    @Monochromicornicopia 7 років тому +1

    Force carriers aren't "particles" in the traditional sense, instead they refer to quantities of energy moving through a field. Photons are quantities of energy that move through an electromagnetic field and gravitons are quantities of energy moving through a gravitational field.
    For example if you flip a rope, a wave of energy moves through the rope. In an analogy with light, the rope is the medium (the EM field) and the moving wave of energy would literally be light itself.

    • @mrsimmons9451
      @mrsimmons9451 7 років тому

      GDI all kinds of bosons, including photons and gravitons, are a part of the standard model, which include physical things that occupy space, can be interacted with and can't be split further.
      "instead they refer to quantities of energy moving through a field." You probably aren't aware of this fact, but energy itself is not some discrete thing that can exist by itself. It's the capability of matter to perform work, so it's misleading to say that it's "quantities of energy moving through a field". Energy isn't it's own object anymore than size and shape is.

  • @KyleCPM
    @KyleCPM 7 років тому +2

    Double slit experiments are not slits in a 2 dimensional plane. Creating a slit also creates a wall to bounce off.on each side of the slit. It's more like a hallway than a slit. Keep in mind the light is entering into the hallway (slit) at an angle. This may simply be reflecting light.
    I propose a cross examination experiment. Mirror coat the interior of the slits. I predict greater brightness lines will occur, if so, disproving the former theory.
    For further clarification of where each effect is occurring from, coat only one slit. For greater clarity still, colour the mirrors differently on each face.

    • @xdazamx
      @xdazamx 7 років тому

      Kyle Micallef
      So? The idea is that the light is parallel to that "wall" so it won't interact with it, in both wave and particle "form".

    • @KyleCPM
      @KyleCPM 7 років тому +1

      The light is not parallel. The hallway sized slit walls are parallel. The demonstrations are with a coneuler light source, diverging angles. Enabling much rebounding light inside those massive grand hallway sized slits.
      If the light was also parrallel it might passe without contact at all. Though magnetic divergence may occur with ionized light.
      I'll update the original comment.

  • @jtera008
    @jtera008 7 років тому

    I certainly hope that next lesson is: Light is a particles. Standard model: photon. One of finest a-ha moments of physics for me has been the realization that there is actually two ways to model light and both explain observed phenomena and yet are somehow mutually exclusive at the same time. Seems like we quite don't know all yet? Last time I checked the test result was; light emitted as individual photons did comply with these test settings and cumulative total of particles created expected patterns with min and max areas. In this lesson there was just basic wave theory nothing that would imply that there is other way to look at phenomenon. Still wave-particle duality explanation best describes all observed phenomena, doesn't it?

    There are 3 particle, mass, electric & magnetic charge. There are also 3 spatial dimensions xyz, 1 for each particle. Electric & magnetic changes have opposite counterparts therefore their particles can move in opposite directions of their dimension. Mass has no such opposite counterpart therefore it can move in 1 direction of its dimension. No physical entity can exist in less or more than 3 dimensions. Therefore for a particle to exist all 3 spatial dimensions must be occupied. Therefore all stable particles must have mass, electric & magnetic charge. To form wave particles must move in opposite directions. Since mass can move in 1 direction it acts as particle while electric & magnetic particles can move in opposite directions they act as waves. All stable particle will always exhibit wave-particle duality.
