As a new physics PhD student I cannot express enough how much these videos fill in my gaps of intuition that I didn’t get in undergrad. I appreciate your work!
This channal really is up there in being able to break down and explain so many complex concepts, in a way that's understandable. all the while not simplifying much at all. (talking about the channal as a whole.)
Your energy is infectious! Thank you for your work - I am really enjoying your channel and learning insane amounts. Your ability to communicate complicated topics is incredible keep it up
just as we started this unit in university, you uploaded. Thank you so much, your videos are very nice, I like how you talk to the scientists themselves, and make sure people understand the concept. I'm one of those kids who always wanted to have the intuition of how it all pieced together while others just wanted to get past the exam and were thinking like "something something". tysm!
Wow. I never had an idea that we all would be constantly glowing or spent any thoughts on it. But after watching this video I just cannot stop thinking about it. Everything I see makes me wonder what kind of EM waves it is emitting. Thank you for this piece of insight.
I love your storytelling. Keep doing what you are doing. Most people don’t dig deep into the original curiosities of discoveries. Tell original stories of people who made the key discoveries. That’s the key to all discoveries. Ask fundamental questions.
Just wow!! One of the best resources I have ever came across. I am taking physic major and your videos are of great help. Also thankyou on making it for free.
what a insightful explanation!!! I am in highschool while I hadn't the full information about the black body radiation graph. Now it is crystal clear to me.
It's so true. And if the "expert" tries to explain it to others, it will often change their own perspective. The "why" and "how" questions are important.
So true. In computer science and programming we use a technique when we get stuck with something where we call over a colleague to our desk and explain our thoughts and insights about an issue to see what we already understand and what we missed. The colleague doesn't even have to respond with anything just listen. That's why we call this technique "rubberducking"; it's like explaining things to a rubber duck. And it works great, I can tell you! 😂
Great video, Mahesh! I've been catching your vids here and there occasionally, and have enjoyed them. But this one was so good that I finally decided I _must_ subscribe to your channel. Great work! And thank you for providing such intuitive ideas for us all!
Brother there is some good work you've done there. I've read this topic from NCERT Chemistry textbook but until now I've understood it well so as to apply it in the real world. Again Hats off! 👍
Mahesh.... I love your passion for physics!!!! I finally appreciate all the implications behind this everyday magic that surrounds us!!! Thank you!!!!!!!
A really nice video. It could have saved me quite some time a few years back, when I started working in a lab and wanted to have some proper understanding of what's going on. Your doing well delivering the intuition with this one. :)
Your way of explaining those subjects is incredibly instructive and comprehensive, I hope you'll get all the millions of subscribers you deserve, The content on this channel is far better than many science channels out there
Congratulations to you for the way you explain concepts that I could not understand during my graduation but now it has become very easy to understand those concepts which were really very difficult for me to imagine. That is why I like your channel very much and I also enjoy watching your videos. Kudos to you!
it's great the format of talking to the different scientists. how are you doing it? is it quantum physics? are you having tea and talking to dead people and it's all about physics? i support :)
Brilliant introduction! I remember blackbody radiation in college physics was precisely the moment I started tuning out because I was having trouble making sense of it. Wish you were around then :) Looking forward to the other parts.
Fantastic video as always! I suppose another interesting topic that is connected to this is the explanation what is the true nature of the energy release of the matter that gets hot. Is it solely by the induced radiation of the vibrating charges? Or is it by the excited electrons emitting quantized packeges of radiation when coming down to its base energy levels? And how does it differ when we talk about atoms in solid materials compared to the gaseous states of the same atoms? Hope we can get some cool explanations from you! Cheers!
Thanks sir, your channel really complements my JEE preparation. I did learn of the blackbody concept in Physical Chemistry, but no one explained it like you. ❤
This channel is rapidly becoming one of my favorite! I can't wait till my 6 years old learns English well enough so he can watch and learn. I mean, they way you explain things is phenomenal! Keep up the good work!
I've always been much more interested in theoretical physics than in the experimental side, but you make a great case that experiment is actually interesting and worth knowing. You've changed my perspective on this.
In my experience, physics majors often underestimate how much they'll like the experimental side of things because the standard college physics curriculum doesn't do a good job of portraying what lab work is like. If you hate lab courses where you are rushed to complete experiments in a few hours and write cookbook reports, I don't think that necessarily means you'll hate experimental research. I think you need to actually try real experimental work to determine if you like it or not. Which might mean going outside your comfort zone if your more comfortable with theory like me. The difference between an experimental researcher and a lab student is, the researcher has access to the lab all the time, they have time to dig in to the details of how the equipment works, they design their own experiments and if something goes wrong they can redo the experiment.
Long ago I was looking at used CDs, and found one by a band I'd never heard of. But the title was "The Ultraviolet Catastrophe", the band name was "Trotsky Icepick", and one of the songs was "Alphaville", so I knew they were my people. Indeed, they were great. Great like this channel, I really recommend the General Relativity, but all are good. I watch some documentaries even when I know the material; it's like listening to different performances of a symphony. But this channel takes less common approaches to the material and is really enlightening.
I had studing balck body radiation from past 4 weeks and didnt get any understanding about topic but this force me to leave a comments that the 17 min i spend on this video completely make me understand about the topic .Thanks to you mahesh sir
I have dabbled in thermodynamics for years and have read many papers on blackbody radiation. You are the first one to explain why the hole is part of an approximate perfect black body. Thanks,
Just had a crazy thing pop up in my mind. Like any moving object, time also has a speed (of sorts) which is equal or close to the speed of light. Like if i watch a moving car from a moving car of the same speed, the car I'm watching is practically stopped. I think it's the same concept, except moving at the speed of light, we start to catch up with the speed of time, seemingly stopping it.🤯🤯
I have a doubt from an earlier video (Heisenberg uncertainty). When we add other waves to narrow down the uncertainty in position, can it also mean that we are just adding more and more electrons of different wavelengths to that electron's surroundings so that they all work together to repel the electron in such a way that it eventually locks at a point where the net repelling force on it is 0 and we get it's uncertainty in position as 0 and as it has locked in, it just keeps vibrating in its position randomly somewhat like brownian motion as it still will be having it kinetic energy, so its direction will be very random even though it is still in its place; so the momentum has a very high uncertainty!!!!!🤯🤯🤯😲😲
Thanks mihesh, I finally got the answer to my wondering why the sun gives off all spectrums of light when is comprised of only certain elements! I was always curious if elements give it only certain wavelengths of light, how we get all of them, and it's the black body radiation that's causing that!
If you need a video idea for the near future, could you make one about the excitation of nuclei? I have never found an explanation how that workes in contrast to the often emerged explanation of exciting electrons to higher energy levels and would be glad if someone with your competence of illustrating physics could help me out with that. Thank you in advance and great video as always.
Would you please do some research on What a photon actually is and how can we visualise it, I mean how a wave can be visualised as a chunks of energy. And then make a detailed video on it. 😅 I'm really curious about it and I'm a visual learner 😅
Yet another great video, can't have enough of your work! Thank you so much! A question for you: My understanding about relativity and Einstein's discoveries is that in general they were based mostly on thought experiments, as you have mention, as well as simple mathematics (to begin with). So, could Newton have arrive in the same results as Einstein have, or was there an unsurpassable obstacle of some kind that had been removed and freed Einstein's way to his view?
omg Mahesh! ok u re an awesome guy. U made me go fucking excited, ur video literally took me and leaded me to an imaginary room that smells SCIENCE. This video made me understand not only accept. And this is a big thing to do. We need people like you, thank u for your afford. big love from italy.
Yes I agree with you when you applying equilibrium temperature to system than its emitting particular photons but how quantum level particles even in lowest level temperature have a Black body.
Why is it that just when I started to learn about Black Body Radiation I got a notification that you have uploaded a video on it? Is this quantum entanglement?
I have been a great student of physics in my days..and I researched and studied many things and learnt many things...and so at one point of time I got bored because I could get anything new..and nothing felt special. Things felt like I have known most of the things. But this Channel really tickles my old enthusiasm for physics and lets me see things a bit more differently in a different way and pulls me back to my old self once again. I don't know if it's good Or bad for me... I just can say that your Channel really works... Funny thing is your channel though low budget its not even less interesting than Veritasium and others..

Doesn't make sense at 6:28. If the cloth material is 100% absorptive then why would it emit back? 🤷♀️
@@WhiteGeared Yes, I could have clearer here. It would re-radiate it back.
@@Mahesh_Shenoy Ok thanks then what is the difference between radiation and reflection in the case of 100% absorptive material?

I like this guy. Just has that energy that makes you excited to learn
Yes - super high radiation output!
What are you, some electron?

First time watching your channel. You are a great explainer. Subscribed!
Crazy to think that this law is probably the reason why humans (and other life) evolved to see the specific wavelengths of light that we see
I love that
I do wonder though, why we didn't evolve to see more infrareds... It seems like that would be a pretty good survival advantage to have.
@@akaHarvesteR We could probably never sleep? Even closing eyes wouldn’t work 😅
@@Mahesh_ShenoyGreat point, now we need to figure out why we evolved to sleep in the first place 😴
@@MarkAhlquistThere are various hypotheses. One of them is that if you have nothing to do it is safer you don’t do anything.
You are the best teacher i have ever seen in my whole entire life. FROM ETHIOPIA.
Thank you so much! This is the only video I watched where I now actually understand the concept - you made it easy to learn as well as interesting :D
Best way to etch anything in your mind, is to try to explain it to others, and "listen" to yourself.
The Feynman technique!
