    The algorithm has brought you and I together, and though the reflection video is the only one I've watched, I'm anticipating a banger of a binge for the remaining 33 videos here. I love being disappointed so I'll set really high expectations, that way if your channel meets those expectations, I can still be disappointed by not being disappointed by the unmet expectations. It's a lose-lose, so for me it's already a. Goddamned win-win. Great...

    So basically the photon gets absorbed and it’s energy is used to recreate a new photon with the same wavelength?

    i know this is considering semi classical interpretation but in QFT neither the electric not the magnetic field is fundamental, that is it doesnt exist, all there is is the electromagnetic field. interactions merely look like electric or magnetic effects to us dependent on our frame of reference/speed. light therefore isnt some combination of electric or magnetic field, its a wave in a electromagnetic field. this is obvious when you consider that photons do not have any self interaction, therefore quite a bit of the explaining there wasnt accurate.

    • @SomethingAbtScience
      @SomethingAbtScience  21 годину тому +3

      @@sudazima I definitely should have clarified that that this is a classical explanation and that the magnetic field is not a fundamental force, but rather an electric field observed from a moving frame of reference. But I don't think using the classical interpretation to explain reflection is misleading in any way. I learned about the classical definition of light way before I understood special relativity, and that's how it should be.

    awesome video, very good to avoid misconceptions and i love your humor.
    just wanted to note that i noticed that the movement of the electron at 04:00 is wrong. since the vectors show the acceleration the movement would show the double-integral of a sin-wave: a -sin wave or a sin with π or 180° phase shift.
    just wanted to add that since everything else seemed so perfekt :)

    So I have thought about how light is re emitted and not reflected in metals. But when it comes to water or glass the most I could find with googling was that its due to the boundary layer between the two materials air - glass - water causing a refractive effect. So the part you have with the surface glass atoms vibrating is a bit interesting. Would the glass vibration be measurable with a small enough piece of glass?

    Do a video about how wavelength information is communicated to the prism to know what direction the light should travel in. Is that information at the leading edge of a light wave, or does the prism somehow see the wavelength coming and direct it?

    • @SomethingAbtScience
      @SomethingAbtScience  19 годин тому +2

      I asked myself the same question making this video. Apparently, the photon’s behavior is wave-like, even when it’s just one photon. It behaves probabilistically, and its behavior aligns with constructive interference of paths near the classical trajectory, leading to the reflection law we observe macroscopically.
