  • “Quantum Theory Made Easy,” a series in which the concepts of quantum physics are broken down for layaudiences in a more digestable manner. More in-depth than most presentations for laypersons, but without the mathematical rigour needed by a specialist in the field.
    So, you've heard that light is a wave/particle. Now you get to find out how we know this!
    In this episode, we’ll be discussing the dual nature of light, starting with a brief overview of how light was determined to be an electromagnetic wave and what properties light was classically associated with. From there, we’ll present the results of Planck’s blackbody experiments and introduce the concept of quantization, which was how this whole quantum mess was started in the first place. After explaining how the quantum of action (h) works, we’ll move on to how it showed up in experiments that challenged the wave picture of light, and how Einstein, bremsstrahlung, and Compton, made it clear that light can behave like a particle.

    Now being 34...I really wish I could go back and take physics in high school/university. Hated the physics at the time and didn’t seem how it was important. but man does it fascinate me now

    • @brodericksiz625

      School is really good at making the most fascinating subjects feel boring. I didn't like history back in high school and now it's one of my favourite things. I was always fascinated by scientific subjects in general and physics was something I was interested in, but in school it was among my worst subjects. Of all the academic subjects I studied in school, I think I've learned much more on my own than at school, with the sole exceptions of History of Art and Latin (I'm Italian and those were mandatory in my school; also, I'm considering brushing up on my Latin and learning new stuff even there, but I'll probably give priority to languages that are still in use)

    • @genesis_888
      @genesis_888 2 роки тому +7

      Agreed! And may i add, the social aspect of school (competitiveness, coolness, distractions, immaturity and all of the bs that happens in school) contributed to so much anxiety that i believe it interfered with my ability to learn math and science properly. Now in my 40’s i can focus thus understand these subjects so much more (not to mention videos like these on youtube university for real!)
      It is truly fascinating for sure!

      Thank you for being a teacher! I agree. As a former physics student who is more of a conceptual thinker, the “be quiet and do math” approach was my destruction. This video actually brought many of the concepts together and into focus. I’m sure many people learned a ton, I know I did. Really nice work croc.

    • @JTsilver05
      @JTsilver05 3 роки тому

      Because this stuff is specialized. They can’t afford to have extremely specific classes for every possible subject, that only one or two students will take. It would be absurd to pay a teacher 60k a year to teach one extremely specific class to very few students. This is what college is for. But that’s just my humble opinion.

    • @pflaffik
      @pflaffik Місяць тому

      Sorry but that only shows how little you know. Even about QM. And current facts about QM are very far off, theres no chaos, theres no randomness, its only temporary answers while we solve it. The most stupid thing i heard about QM is Filippenko saying that if you bounce a ball many enough times it will eventually pass right to the floor. When "leading scientists" say such things its easy to get misled, just remember that they say it only because they have nothing sensible to say yet. Soon though, breakthroughs will come.

    Thank you for taking the time to watch this video. I understand that it’s extremely dense (electromagnetism was summarized in five minutes) so you may need to watch it a couple of times in order for the contents to stick. Because so much background information needed to be covered in a relatively short amount of time, this episode will probably be more dense than all of the future ones, so just be patient with it and feel free to ask me to clarify anything that seemed unclear to you.

      King Crocoduck Question. Are there any books that highlight the actual experiments done in a historical order of discovery. that verified electromagnetism and quantum mechanics. Books that show the experimental set ups and the process of the experiments. I want to know HOW these things were discovered with the equipment used. I don't have access to physics labs.

    • @KingCrocoduck
      @KingCrocoduck  9 років тому +10

      ***** none that I know of, though Freedman and Young's "University Physics" covers all of the essentials. To get started, look up UA-cam videos in this order:
      Coulomb charge experiment
      Ampere circuit experiment
      Faraday mutual induction experiment
      Hertz EM wave experiment
      that covers the essentials of electromagnetism.

      Time travel on a quantum level ,if we could time travel then things can be changed go were we want and so on ,but in quantum time travel the particles are open to time travelling quantum levels this means they are every were and at every point they could ever be if this is the case then only when we observe them do they behave as we would expect them to because at this point they are now in are reality as a perspective of are view on time ,so this is what i have come up with and this also works for spooky action from a distance and probably explains most if not all of the quantum physics how they have this ability is beyond me but i believe this is a step towards understanding quantum physics, iv named it QUANTUM TIME TRAVEL.

    Thank you for properly introducing the world of Quantum Mechanics to me. I've got a BS in Math and I did well in my Classical Physics with Calculus classes I took while I was in college, but I never found the time in my class schedule to delve any deeper in the subject despite having a desire to do so. Once I got out of college, I have tried, on a couple of occasions, to return to the subject and ,develop a basic understanding of modern physics so that I could, at least, be scientifically literate on the subject. Your videos are by far the best resource I have come across in my pursuit of this goal. I just want to say thank you for making this wonderful series of videos.

    Im a first year physics student and I used to watch these videos before I was in college and never fully understood it. We actually covered this material in the last part of the course and now I understand almost of all of this. Minus the calculus. I take calculus 1 this spring. But I was beginning to lose motivation and actually having 2nd guesses and wondering what I was doing with my life. Until I watched this video a year later and I understand!! Which reignited my love for physics!!! I love physics so much.

  • @dangelangello8567
    @dangelangello8567 6 років тому

    When I was taking my exams for science, we only did Chemistry and Biology. Physics was only ever mentioned. So after leaving school and embarking on my writing, physics slowly became more and more important in my story creation. So I can say I've spent more time over the last 15 years trying to learn basic physics than I ever attempted at Bio or Chem.
    And it's only now, after spending three hours watching your video over and over, that I've started to understand what it means when light is both a particle, and a wave, and why that's so significant.
    Thank you for a great vid.

      H-bar is the same symbol as Saturn in astrology/astronomy, ♄, the planet that represented the farthest, external limit of our Solar system for millenniums, while Planck's constant (♄ * τ) represents the smallest increment, or "internal" limit of an atomic quantum ! with both the atom and Solar system looking a bit alike with a small and dense nucleus in the center, and more spaced photons gravitating all around on their orbits..... The same symbol was most likely selected for a reason.

    Finally got around to watching. Awesome job, KC. I really enjoyed it and hope that it gets the viewing it deserves. As the father of teenagers, I despair at the kind of crap that gets watched on UA-cam when there is an ocean of gems like this out there to be discovered and savored. Even though there was nothing new for me I never tire of watching this kind of stuff, especially when it's so nicely executed. Science is just so... beautiful and the people who discovered all this are god-like to me. I think that's why I get so pissed off at creationists. Looking forward to more.

      I've been looking around on the topic of Compton scattering and ultrasound to try to fully understood what was meant when I first heard it- I took the relationship between Compton scattering and ultrasound as it was described to me to refer to the recording of the wave data on the screen, but I'm getting more and more skeptical about this explanation so I may need to defer to the expertise of a specialist. If it turns out to be wrong, I'll add this to the Errata video I have planned at the end of the series

      Could you possible explain what you mean. The only reason why I ask is I was 100% certain (i looked it up again and I am right 2015) that frogs see individual photons reaching their eyes. extract : Miniature light detectors in frog eyes known as retinal rod cells are directly and unambiguously shown to detect single photons of light -- an astounding sensitivity considering that a humble 60 watt light bulb spews out a staggering 1020 photons per second. Using a specially developed light source that generates single photons, a new A*STAR study finds that a rod cell has an almost one-in-three chance of detecting an incoming photon

      @a.j8307 5 років тому

      @@philrudski9084 Let's imagine that you are transformed into light, or a massless being that can match the speed of light. When you travel from point a to point b as a human you see the whole journey as you get in your car and drive the entire distance until arriving. But if you were light traveling from a star to a telescope on Earth, the beginning of the journey (the point of generation), all of the distance, and the arrival (the point of absorbtion) would all be simultaneous. You aren't exactly "traveling" from the star to the telescope, because there was no time before the journey began.
      No time passes during your "travel" to the telescope. It would for someone observing you thru the telescope, relative to your position.
      So "traveling" faster than this is incoherent. It's like trying to measure something smaller than a Planck length.
      For me, this makes it a little easier to understand why time is relative. The closer you get to reaching c, rhe slower time would appear to pass from your POV. That's because if you somehow did travel at C, time no longer applies. It would effectively stop.
      I know this is hard to wrap your head around, but it's the best I can simplify.

      Water acts like a wave when there's a lot of it, you can't make the same distinction for a photon because even if you eject one photon it will still have a wave behavior. If you take the double slit experiment and allow a photon to go through without observing it, you'll get interference and diffraction. But if you let a molecule of water go through you wouldn't. Well, you would according to De Broglie, but not in the sense that you're thinking.

    • @CrossingTheStreetArt
      @CrossingTheStreetArt 4 роки тому

      @@pockydust3404 Good point. Just one problem: you don't get an interference pattern unless you have multiple photons hitting the sensor because if you only fire one photon at it, only one spot would be hit. Please correct me if i'm wrong about that, but I don't remember seeing any experiments that only fired one photon and got a wave pattern.

      Actually, if you fire one photon at a time without observing which slit it went through, you still get an interference pattern. Electrons too. Not certain how massive a particle it’s been done with...
      I’m back. Looks like they’ve done it with molecules as large as 800 atoms. So, if you carefully sent one of those molecules through at a time, each hit on the screen would eventually add up to the same interference pattern.
      That’s the thing about quantum physics. Whatever you think is supposed to happen is likely to be wrong. And we know that the theory is correct because it so accurately predicts the nonsensical behavior of reality.
      I’ve heard that it’s theoretically possible to send any mass through a double slit. But for macroscopic objects you’ll have to cool it to impossibly close to absolute zero. Which I think would be prevented by quantum physics.
