It's the little, but all-important and so often neglected details of the subject being given attention in this video that really help make it all so understandable. You often see representations of the wave packet in other videos, to take just one example, but what is or how it relates to wavelengths is seldom made clear. Here, though, it's perfectly spelled out. There's even a realworld demonstration of the results of a single-slit experiment! This is what an educational video should be.
HI, nice vid. but a clarification is needed. @7:50 you have the Delta_Px only covering one blob, what about all the other blobs both above and below this main blob. THEIR deviations from the original direction of the photon are much greater, surely all of those photons have much greater delta_Px than merely just the span of one single blob. the blobs span the entire vertical height of your youtube video frame! That's a lot bigger a delta_Px than what you indicate.
That's true, but the same holds for the pattern from the narrow slit. I wanted to look at the whole pattern but couldn't fit it all in frame with the camera I'm using so I settled on only looking at the central maximum for each case. Whether you look at the central maximum or all the maxima you can see, the pattern is wider for the narrow slit and narrower for the wide slit.

Great videos! Thank you!
Your Chanel is fantastic, thanks sir

This blew my mind!! I knew about the uncertainty principle and the casimir effect but I had no idea they were directly related! I am fulfilled
you are amazing
sir🤩🤩
really underrated channel
