I am almost paying more attention to how it was presented than the actual presentation, she's so focused and intense yet holds an edge of casualness in her tone that might encourage me to interrupt her had I the audacity. Good job, please keep teaching.
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!!!
i once did the double slit experiment, using a laser-pen and some tin foil. i was amazed when it actually worked and created a beautiful interference pattern on my wall :D
(So many important questions on this topic)-Q#2. What about the shape of the photon envelope keeps it on, its course, predominantly, (most of the photon instances traveling across 'empty space'), instead of doing the single-slit-thing; Would that shape thin out...
(So many important questions on this topic)- Q#1. If a photon is shortened to a quarter wavelength (in an advanced optics laboratory), what is its total wave-cycle-count length for when it passes through a Young's Double Slit experiment-Does it still show 10± lobes on the photoscreen, or is it fewer lobes, (try it)...
It's interesting how a sizable amount of the comments are simply people trying to correct the video with their own opinion. I'm pretty sure Crash Course knows their stuff. So why act like you know things?
Bring back John Green for more entertaining Crash course history.I like the way he jumped on that chair to reveal mystery object.He cynisism was very entertaining.
im just studying waves, and light waves and light weight currently, perfect timing for the video Edit: I'm just studying waves and specifically light waves currently, perfect timing for the video. Sorry for the typo
this idea still blows my mind, I can't wrap my brain around the idea of an object being a subset of one object and a completely different object without these two objects being part of each other.
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 :)
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.
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.
I love how english speaking people pronounce things like the 'uy' in Huygens. It's actually pronounced the same way as the 'ui' in Kuiper from Kuiper's belt. For precise pronounciation Google translate 'onion' to Dutch and listen to the result.
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.
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.
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?
Gaurav Nema this idea is taught in a class that's generally called 'modern physics', which is kind of intro to quantum. it's after physics 2, it's a tough class
I've found CC Physics difficult because of its emphasis on equations. I enjoyed this episode more, with lots of theory (even if I'm still processing it) and little or no equations. I know you have your plans for the course, but I thought I'd offer a bit of constructive criticism :)
Excellent video, you really have a gift for explaining these concepts to people like me who aren't mathematical and scientific geniuses :) On that note, Crash Course Calculus with Dr. Shini anyone?
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.
You mention how light also being a wave is one of the most important discoveries in physics during the intro but never mention why or finish the thought later in the video. Also there's a ton of terminology which has its place but I feel that there aren't enough similes for the layman to relate to.
I've seen this before, I believed this rule that in fact Light s a wave. I even Conducted an experiment on this both the double slit and the coin and any spherical objects. they all work.:) However I wanna know why in most cases we cannot see that bright spot on the middle of a round shadow during a Lunar eclipse. does it have to do with the distance? roundness of the surface, in this case the moon and earth? wavelength of the light? earths atmosphere? Id love to know
Be they particles or waves, I just fell in love with Doctor Shini Somara. If PBS wants to teach us anything they need a less sexy teacher. Rawwwwwwwwrrrrrrrr

"studying waves has its ups and downs" 😂 I love this
When I greet light, light waves back...
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!
tragoedia veritas lol
*claps*
Oh man Shini, I've learned this three times over two years, and this is the first time this has made any kind of sense to me.
Thank you.
This is driving me nuts!
A photon walks into a hotel lobby. They ask it if it wants help with its bag and it replies "no thanks I'm traveling light" 😁
funnnyy
Lol
Lol fungal
**gives four wedgies**
I am almost paying more attention to how it was presented than the actual presentation, she's so focused and intense yet holds an edge of casualness in her tone that might encourage me to interrupt her had I the audacity. Good job, please keep teaching.
Even though it is above my grade level it still helps so when I go back to school i will be ahead of the class in some areas

Hey ur voice travels at the speed of light😂😂😂😂😂
True😂
Is light a particle or a wave? Or is it just *particularly wavy?*
;)
joke, not a real question.
Master Therion both
Master Therion Light is a wave made of photons.
well check the "double slit experiment" before you post videos...
light can behave both ways...
in another words, god exist
are you serious when you say the wave particle duality implies god exist?
+Barnesrino Kripperino yep not only me but einstein thinks the same...
'observer' the 'watcher'
I keep waiting for her to take a breath but it never happens.
o.O
O.o
O.O
I, for one, welcome our new Smart-Bot overlords.
Von Neely 4:51
you fool we must fight agains the Overlords to become the new overlords
Von Neely she's a skinny gurl
Breathing is for people with no editors.
5:06. Well done
i once did the double slit experiment, using a laser-pen and some tin foil. i was amazed when it actually worked and created a beautiful interference pattern on my wall :D
Interesting! How specifically was it set up?
THANK YOU. I took a physics series and this was a perfect summing up of what I had learned about diffraction. I really needed a refresher.
you guys keep uploading stuff I'm learning at college 😂 from ethics to science 😂
Im learning at secondary school
@@Ph03n1X87 same
Whose quarantined and watching this for school?
Me for science
Let it be known that the people behind Crash Course play Enter the Gungeon.
YESSSS
Yeah dude
(So many important questions on this topic)-Q#2. What about the shape of the photon envelope keeps it on, its course, predominantly, (most of the photon instances traveling across 'empty space'), instead of doing the single-slit-thing; Would that shape thin out...
Did I just see Enter the Gungeon!? In Crash Course!?
Porygon-Z omg! Obscure reference that I understand on popular show or media!
yup
In settings, I put the speed down to 1.5
(So many important questions on this topic)-
Q#1. If a photon is shortened to a quarter wavelength (in an advanced optics laboratory), what is its total wave-cycle-count length for when it passes through a Young's Double Slit experiment-Does it still show 10± lobes on the photoscreen, or is it fewer lobes, (try it)...
love the ETG refrence
Ah, got to love waves without quantum probability
This is by far the best CrashCourse intro...
LOL the sun at 6:30 is so cute
Did you like the Enter the Gungeon reference? The game is on sale this weekend until January 30.
3:10 the single fact that the creators knew about this enemy in Enter The Gungeon implies that they got to at least the 3rd floor
My favourite thing about crashcourse is their into music
Perfect explanation !!!! I just replicated it with my smartphone flashlight, and some books. Works exactly as stated.
I was not able to understand this topic in my college and my exams are near. You put this video at the right time .... thank you so much crash course
I don't know what is the most beautiful here faced with awesome gods art including this narator
She's so adorable it gets hard to pay attention to the content. 😍
Am I the only one who gets the "enter the gungeon" reference in the animation at the beginning
yes
XD good to know
Yehudah Goldstein no
You just taught me everything my teacher doesn't. Thanks
It's interesting how a sizable amount of the comments are simply people trying to correct the video with their own opinion. I'm pretty sure Crash Course knows their stuff. So why act like you know things?
I love Crash Course
2:50
Enter the Gungeon anyone?
Yep
agreed
Bring back John Green for more entertaining Crash course history.I like the way he jumped on that chair to reveal mystery object.He cynisism was very entertaining.
Very well explained and visualized. Thanks to all involved.
This could also be Refraction near the edges.
Does the the coined light spot have a focal distance?
How hasn't anyone noticed the amazing Enter the Gungeun reference!?great vid btw
im just studying waves, and light waves and light weight currently, perfect timing for the video
Edit: I'm just studying waves and specifically light waves currently, perfect timing for the video.
Sorry for the typo
*light waves
sorry for the confusion, it was just a typo
Really

Best explanation of the double-slit I have ever experienced! Thank you!!!!
A 30-minute lecture was given in less than 10 minutes. Light is proud of her.
I could watch her all day!
Finally I get it! Huygens' Principle explains diffraction!
Congrats, my university recommended us to watch this video before entering the laboratory experience.
Actually, its cameras that work like eyes, rather than visa versa. Great presentation!

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".
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.

Oh my God. Enter The Gungeon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
very easy to understand. Thank you.
ENTER THE GUNGEON?
Sure looks like it to me!
What is that?
Greaaaat video...super cool animations make things like these really easy to understand. which I'm sorry to say, books just can't deliver.
i just didnt get it in a full semester engineering.lady just
explained soo effortlessly i regret the time i wasted
Oh man where was this three years ago when I did physics and was so totally lost on all of these experiments!

most awesome video keep it up guys
I have no idea what this pretty lady is talking about, but I sure am enjoying watching her talk about it *swoon*
good, good, i can feel the modern physics
oldcowbb this is like the most ancient optical physics there is 😁
it's coming, it has to be
Gaurav Nema this idea is taught in a class that's generally called 'modern physics', which is kind of intro to quantum. it's after physics 2, it's a tough class
Spider-manana Yup..I agree...modern physics has a very different and difficult ideology..😯
that ancient thing was just a joke bro 😊
Gaurav Nema ooh, I didn't realise

Light Wave sounds like a c-list DC villain the Teen Titans would fight.
I like her accent. Also the content was interesting as well.
she talks too fast. she's so smart
watch her eyes at 1:25 shes reading
And beautiful
"many of them thought light was a particle." I guess they're just particular about that
WELL DONE!!
0:05 heya gamers who’s watching this cuz of hw?
Thank you for these videos!
how long until Nintendo strikes? make your bets below!
great explanation!
Your video just cleared the path for my billion dollar idea
Classically good
Great timing, I've got an exam on this.
The Light is love.
Excellent video, you really have a gift for explaining these concepts to people like me who aren't mathematical and scientific geniuses :)
On that note, Crash Course Calculus with Dr. Shini anyone?
so cool, thanks !
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.
Great job
another great video
Are you guys still planning on doing higher ed physics later on in 2017 or 2018?
NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day 2018-10-02 _(»Supernumerary Rainbows over New Jersey«)_ sent me here. Cheers!
it would be really cool to use this to make light patterns in cathedrals
and God said let there be light
light waves at God to thank Him
praise be
God said that a few days before he created the sun?
Fox Mulder with his conspiracy theories... god...
Fox Mulder do you watch and comment on the same UA-cam videos as me, fox mulder?
heh...
praise him or die
Let there be light
Shini in the Mario's outfit is cute :3
Light confirmed wavy
Thanks, ma'am! It helped a lot to me. I've been watching you since the beginning of my 7th grade. I am still a Seventh Grader.☺
Such a great video Wow

PLEASE MAKE A CRASH COURSE MATHS 💕
So the shadow is actually two light waves cancelling each other out. Learnt something today. Or just can't remember that part. Thanks for video.
Oh my... She IS SO BEAUTIFUL!
Very nice video. Could anyone know which video tool to create this video animation? Thank you.
Unbelievably difficult !
Get in! Quantum physics is here! (Or maybe just in a few episodes)
Short and meaningful videos. ☺☺☺☺

Light can travel about...300,000,000 miles onto my opinion
