You can learn quantum mechanics with brilliant if you like brilliant.org/upandatom/ Also, when I was 10 I asked my older brother to teach me to skateboard. The first thing he tried to teach me was to start moving from a stationary position. He had me stand on the back of the board with one foot so it tilted upwards, and then slam my other foot down at the front of the board and apparently that was meant to make it move forward. So on my first try I slammed my foot down too hard, the board slid out from under me as I was propelled forward and my face hit the hard pavement. I never skated again.
Interesting... sorry to hear about the face plant! But somehow I'm connecting it to the final bit of this blog post I just read yesterday: blog.interviewing.io/we-built-voice-modulation-to-mask-gender-in-technical-interviews-heres-what-happened/ ... relevant??? Also, I just want to let you know that I find the brilliant.org plugs jarring, and wish they either weren't there, or were more subtle, or something. I don't expect a change necessarily, just... thought I'd share one viewer's take. I pay for the ad-free version of RUclips, and the brilliant stuff feels like advertising... which I presume it is? :) ... and perhaps you genuinely want to support what they're doing, and that's fine, just... I dunno, letting you know. :)
Thank you for letting me know about how the brilliant ad sounded. It's my very first sponsored video so I'm still getting the hang of it. I do like brilliant a lot, but I'm disappointed to hear it stunned you. I'll work on making the ad reads more subtle or giving more warning or something.

The energy is only “quantized” because we are trying to measure it in a particular point in time. “Superposition” is also meaningless theory. In no way does observing anything force it into one state or another
Having just finished my degree in Mathematics just under a year ago, I'm finding it really therapeutic to come back and learn about topics (I struggled with) without the pressure of having to learn them for my exams/dissertations etc. It means I can enjoy the basic ideas and theories without getting to bogged down in the really hard maths. Great video, thank you!
Same for me, even if I have gotten my physics degree many years ago. Now I'm reading in a very relaxed mood mathematical papers and physics books. When I don't understand them I come back later, without pressure. Particle physics or General Relativity are indeed somewhat hard like pure mathematics.
I'm bad at math. I disagree that the Shrodinger Equation describes real meaning. It can't be performed. Everyone I don't see is really somewhere, and accidents aren't happening. In the same way a "quantum particle" must really have a position and a velocity, even if you can't see it. Perhaps every "quantum particle" has a corresponding "Satan square" which must have a position and velocity because it is a real object. It collapses into a Satan square only in your imagination.
I was living peacefully, then I decided to do bachelors in physics, now I live in a constant state of mental suffering whilst also increasing my knowledge of physics and further destroying my mental health
Been teaching advanced high school Chemistry & Physics for 20+ years - the BEST 10-minute explanation I have found! My students absolutely love this explanation. THANKS for posting! Fantastic work here!!!
@L. Kärkkäinen Well, that honestly is not a proper derivation of the Schrödinger equation. It assumes the time dependent wave function has a form as \Psi(x,t)=e^{i(kx-\omega t)} (This is latex code, plug it into an interpreter to more clearly see what I mean). This is called an ansatz and it works in order to derive an equation. However, there is no proper, real and strict mathematical proof of the Schrödinger Equation. Schrödinger simply postulated the equation. And so far it works, me as a third year nuclear physics student use it every other week to compute wave functions in the shell model of a nucleus. And it works and can be experimentally shown to work. But there is no proof. Pure mathematicians despise us physicists for using it since they always require proofs haha

You will witness the exact moment the cat did or didn’t die before you opened the box. Your consciousness has nothing to do with it, it’s simply the observational tool interacting with the observed scene. Pretty dumb to think human consciousness has anything to do with it. What idiots.

Sure it doesn't have the technical nitty-gritty but getting a gut feeling and a logical comprehension of a subject is the best gateway to wanting to check out the details. Thank you so much for all the info, you are doing such a wonderful service to so many people
I like this explanation a lot! I only had to take a year of physics for my biology degree and I was terrified I would fail the entire degree because of physics at first but then I started to like it and it also made the math I had to take easier to understand. Something I did wonder about this but was too intimidated to ask my professor about was whether the weirdness of quantum mechanics was why people started considering whether other dimensions and parallel universes exist. For the sake of the poor cat, I sure hope they do.
I think this is the most intuitive lesson i have had on Quantum mechanics. I passed the subject with a distinction purely because i could solve the maths but i never really understood the meaning of it all. Thank you for this, it was brilliant.
You seem to have a nearly perfect balance of things that make learning and watching you pleasing. You have clear explanations that are easy to take in, or at least enough to whet a curiosity in the subject matter. Also, your motions are very fluid and playful. I think that gives your videos an inviting feel. Great job!!!
This was the greatest explanation of the wave function ever, I knew what is was before but this completely advanced it so much. Also I have been trying to find a video or an article explaining the Schrodinger equation for a week or 2 now, so thank you so much for not only explaining it, but explaining it perfectly so that everyone can understand it.
Yes. That's exactly what it means. In the real world, there is no way to create an infinite potential capable of forcing the wave function to 0 at the boundaries of the box (much less the entire universe outside the box, which is what the problem sets up). What's amazing is that despite the fact that this example is non-physical, it can be used to produce excellent approximations of real experiments.
A physicist at Cal poly San Luis Obispo once told me that the particle in an infinite energy well is a toy problem, your comment has finally help me understand what he meant.
Yeah well ! according to Shroedinger your electron could be located ANYWHERE in the universe - and it would still belong to the atom to which it is said to belong. It gives a new meaning to belonging, hey ? When you hold an object in your hand - do not think that all of this object is in your hand - it is scattered all over the universe and can still be IN YOUR HAND. How's that for a mystic ? but do not accuse scientists to be mystics - they wrongly believe they have ended mysticism, when in fact they have merely hijacked it.
Thank you for adding the derivation! This whole video was immensely helpful and elegant in representing the equation thoroughly yet also fairly simply.
When I was an undergraduate at Bristol in the early 1970s they thought it would be a good idea for physics and chemistry students to take all the first year courses from both departments. As a consequence we got quantum mechanics from the physicists at 9am and quantum mechanics from the chemists at 10am. Unfortunately the departments clearly never talked to one another and the physicists taught the time-dependent form while the chemists taught the time-independent form with neither of them acknowledging the existence of the other form!. Neither side thought it was a good idea to show that Newtonian mechanics can also be written in the Hamiltonian formalism (which I think should be obligatory to save the inevitable confusion of presenting a new physical concept in a new mathematical wrapper at the same time). Anyway, I guess it did me an indirect favour - on graduation I decided to do research in an area where quantum mechanics wasn't involved and I chose cloud microphysics - perhaps belatedly one of the hottest topics of our time (a back-water, however, in the 1970s)
When the Schrödinger equation is presented in just the right way (the Wigner transform), you can see clearly how it moves from describing QM states in very small isolated systems to describing Newtonian mechanics in large systems immersed in an environment with influences such as temperature and viscosity. This transition to classical mechanics can also be seen by the density matrix transitioning from having off-diagonal elements (the pure quantum states) to being a diagonal matrix (in the classical case).
I definitely feel like I enjoy it more-- especially because you actually went through the elements of the equation. I know that a 10 minute video can only give a cursory look, but most people just do a little hand-waving and say "this equation says ALL you need to know" without explaining even the basics of HOW the equation does it. So this was awesome!
7:07 "But what about the wave function? Where,...[pause]...is the electron?" - This really got me!! Awesome video...super simplified explanation of such tricky concept. Loved your energy!
Very well done Jade. Without overly extending the explanation as is and thus making it less comprehensible, I'd try to include brief allusions to the following with possibly links to further details:- The wave function itself - how and why it's form was chosen, i.e. why is it complex, what's its relation to Euler's identity, why did it need to be wave-like to begin with etc. A reminder on what k are w are and what they represent in the wave function. A reminder where the de Broglie relation comes from, the matter wavelength relation to momentum and how k fits into that and why. A quick work through the Schrödinger equation derivation you gave the briefest snapshot of - it is very good, clear and concise but may overwhelm those new to it, without an explanation of what is being substituted into where and when. A justification as to why squaring the wave function yields the probability function of finding the electron at each location. EDIT: Just found your What is The Quantum Wave Function, Exactly video, excellent.
Your explanations are so clear and concise, and your presentation style makes the experience of learning incredibly enjoyable. Thank you very much for for all the time and effort you put into making these videos.
I've had coursework in quantum particle physics and struggled to get the gist of it (basically, it's not possible to fully understand how these little fellas can do all this "weird" stuff...ya just gotta accept particle-wave, uncertainty, tunneling, superposition, and entanglement...until further notice.) You have an amazing ability to get it across to others who don't understand it!! (I am a college tutor and am always amazed at your ability to "break it down and explain it".) Thank you, Jade!!
Awesome. I’m not a physicist but learning more. Your explanations are thoughtful, interesting, and help to build an intuition for dense topics. Thanks!
The Wave function doesnt tell you where the electron is likely yo be. It is the square of the wave function. The Wave function itself has no physical interpretación, and it's not just a detail. It's fundamental.
Or, the wave function really is an electron and when measured the law of conservation of energy limits that measurement to one place. Otherwise, it would be infinite energy.
This equation was the wall which I never could clear because it involves imaginary numbers (complex numbers) and accepting that it described reality was accepting that reality could never be understood, even at it's simplest level. I tried for a year to transpose this equation into one that would use " real numbers" and failed. I am a lawyer now.
Cool explanation, it's very clear. I think that the point of promoting classical observables to operators could be stated directly (especially since there is no a priori reason for doing so).
I am from India and I am studying quantum chemistry, when i found many videos on schrodinger equation, i just randomly clicked yours but trust me when i listened i feel much better about my schrodinger equation. thank you so much.
Did the box have air holes??? I'm just sayin'. Why didn't I have teachers like you at school. You are enthusiastic and personable. I might have turned out intelligent! (My whole life has been potential energy)
Same here.trying to understand everything and not getting them.Anyways,the video was a really really relly great one.It builds up quite an understanding and the style you explainis great.love from Bangladesh.
This was the best explanation I’ve ever seen. You make it so understandable. Most videos of the schrödigner equation doesn’t really talk about what each individual symbol means. But yours did.
6 years ago, and your video is still applicable today. Simply legacy 👏. Also, thank you for your project attached to the video. It helped me understand the concept of "particles in a box" more.
I love videos on quantum mechanics and this is probably one of the easiest to understand. Your delivery and explanation was clear and pretty easy to follow 👍🏽 good stuff! Also that was the first time (in years of watching videos on the topic) that the reasoning/correlation behind the discrete energy levels and wavelength was made clear
@@paritoshattri672 it's quantum mechanics. Attribute it to any subject, physics or chemistry. But there's something you must know; it's more physics than chemistry. Guess you are in class XI right now.
@@paritoshattri672 you do realise chemistry is basically applied physics which is essentially applied maths. At higher levels all 3 subjects merge and there is no longer really much separation between them.
Great video and, I must say, you are a great explainer. You provide information in an easy way to understand and, most important, in a fun and compelling manner. Well done.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck%E2%80%93Einstein_relation Planck originally thought that h was a placeholder. Einstein solidified it. You can call _E=hf_ by any of its popular names without robbing Planck of any credit. Remember, E=pc E=hc/λ E=hf The point isn't the connection between energy and frequency - it's the connection of momentum to a massless object based on its wavelength and the quantum scale. Frequency is just good bookkeeping and very handy.
@@Ni999 thanks. I'd add that what matters isn't simply a relation between E and f but the fact that h is a constant, so that energy get quantized and has only discrete values; but that aspect is very well explained in the video
Well, that's the first time I actually feel I understand a tiny bit about quantum physics - ie, what wave function actually means and it's connection with discrete energy levels. Super video.
So, basically, the Schrödinger equation is a quantum mechanical wave function which describes how electron orbitals combine to form atoms. These experiments helped explain the structure of atoms and molecules. These experiments showed that quantum mechanics is indeed correct, and the Schrödinger equation will be used to develop new technologies in many different areas. Applications include how atoms form molecules, which are two or more atoms bonded together. Very important for creating drugs and new materials. Also, the Schrödinger equation can be used to describe interactions between electrons and nuclei. In chemistry, quantum mechanics is useful for explaining how electron orbitals are formed in atoms.
Seems a better analogy than a kid in her room would be a kid let loose in a big apartment store. You get high a high probability that they may be in the toy section or the sports section or in the candy section, etc., but they could also be traveling between those places when you actually look. Even if they were in the toy section, they could be in front of one toy, or another, or playing randomly with a toy along the aisle somewhere. As a parent, I can assure you that raising a child can be very quantum, especially when you’re looking for them.
I wish I could’ve shown this to my physics professor years ago 😂 This is excellent work, I’m beyond impressed at the amount of information you packed into this segment. I’m subbed & will be binge watching your channel during down time until Im caught up, so I guess I’m a rl stan now 🙂
@@souravsahoo1582 bhai mazak tha 😂😂,waise samjhane ka tarika acha tha iska aur ek aur baat ye video maine tab dekha jab first semester me panda sir ne hume schrodinger padhaya tha aur tune abhi dekha hai
Thank you for the excellent explanation. What I think makes the Schrodinger Equation difficult for non-physicists is that the metaphor of a cat in a box is confusing. The cat in the box is already an observer of sorts. Even if the animal cannot see in the darkness, that doesn't eliminate other forms of observation, such as feeling, smell, or other sensations. This should be enough complexity for the wave function to collapse.
@@DinoDudeDillon I do believe it. I'm pretty obsessed with frequency modulation synthesis and the harmonic series as well as quantum mechanics. There are some astounding parallels in our universe
This HAS to be the best explanation on RUclips for this particular topic. This helped me understand the topic in 9 minutes while my professor spent hours on this!
Can we all take a minute and appreciate this girl's hardwork and such a sweet way of explaining things...... lethal combination of beauty + brain + sweet!
For those of you trying to make it through the derivation, dPsi/dx is a partial derivative, meaning that omega and t are treated as constants. This is often shown as sigmaPsi/sigmax. P.S. Thank you for making a video that shows the math, and doesn't just say "...and that goes beyond the scope of this video"
I don’t take quantum mechanics. I’m a high school student who have barely started calculus. I can’t stop watching these stuff. What am I doing with my life.
If you want you can teach yourself partial derivatives. It’s in calc 3. Basically deriving for x in one vector position and y In the other. Makes more sense once you finish calc 3. And physics
This, this right here, wiped out 92% of my P-Chem class in undergraduate. Only 8 of us struggled through the math to finish the year of study, at the end of which our professor, Dr. Schelly, educated in Germany and living in Texas at the time, gave us all a bumper sticker declaring to the visible universe that we had passed P-Chem! Still, to this day, the most difficult class ever attempted out of Adkin's Text book, including any of my graduate classes in Mathematics or Physics.
Enegy=h*frequency was derived by Max Plank(in 1900), in his explaination of the 'Black Body Radiation'. Max Plank won the noble prize for his explaination of the black body radiation.Albert Einstein did not give us this equation. Please do not furnish wrong information regarding some basic scientific equations.
Thank you, Madam, 🙏for the wonderful videos on science and mathematics. I am from India and studied for a few semesters of physics before switching to medicine. I am still interested in physics(especially quantum mechanics, cosmology and the theory of relativity), philosophy ( I happened to visit the Bertrand Russel Archives in Canada in August) and mathematics. You make my life easier by presenting certain aspects of modern science ( physics/mathematics etc. that interest me most. As a physician, I do have not enough time to read the original papers etc on physics. When I was a student at the University of Vienna, I was supposed to stay in a hostel next to the house where Erwin schrädinger was supposed to have lived. I remember having read a book titled " In Search of Schrodinger's Cat " which gave me a brief introduction to quantum mechanics. I have already subscribed to your channel and whenever I have time I would watch your RUclips videos.

Also I have been trying to find a video or an article explaining the Schrodinger equation for a week or 2 now, so thank you so much for not only explaining it, but explaining it perfectly so that everyone can understand it.
My electron went missing. I opened the box and found it had tunneled out.
On a more serious note: Wouldn't that mean that the Wave function does not have to be zero at the edge of the box?
Yes. That's exactly what it means. In the real world, there is no way to create an infinite potential capable of forcing the wave function to 0 at the boundaries of the box (much less the entire universe outside the box, which is what the problem sets up). What's amazing is that despite the fact that this example is non-physical, it can be used to produce excellent approximations of real experiments.
A physicist at Cal poly San Luis Obispo once told me that the particle in an infinite energy well is a toy problem, your comment has finally help me understand what he meant.
Yeah well ! according to Shroedinger your electron could be located ANYWHERE in the universe - and it would still belong to the atom to which it is said to belong.
It gives a new meaning to belonging, hey ?
When you hold an object in your hand - do not think that all of this object is in your hand - it is scattered all over the universe and can still be IN YOUR HAND.
How's that for a mystic ? but do not accuse scientists to be mystics - they wrongly believe they have ended mysticism, when in fact they have merely hijacked it.
Hi Peter, you would know either where it went approximately or where it is now, not both 😉. You choose.
Thank you for adding the derivation! This whole video was immensely helpful and elegant in representing the equation thoroughly yet also fairly simply.
Thank you for making these complex things more accessible. It’s a joy to listen to you.
When I was an undergraduate at Bristol in the early 1970s they thought it would be a good idea for physics and chemistry students to take all the first year courses from both departments. As a consequence we got quantum mechanics from the physicists at 9am and quantum mechanics from the chemists at 10am. Unfortunately the departments clearly never talked to one another and the physicists taught the time-dependent form while the chemists taught the time-independent form with neither of them acknowledging the existence of the other form!. Neither side thought it was a good idea to show that Newtonian mechanics can also be written in the Hamiltonian formalism (which I think should be obligatory to save the inevitable confusion of presenting a new physical concept in a new mathematical wrapper at the same time).
Anyway, I guess it did me an indirect favour - on graduation I decided to do research in an area where quantum mechanics wasn't involved and I chose cloud microphysics - perhaps belatedly one of the hottest topics of our time (a back-water, however, in the 1970s)
When the Schrödinger equation is presented in just the right way (the Wigner transform), you can see clearly how it moves from describing QM states in very small isolated systems to describing Newtonian mechanics in large systems immersed in an environment with influences such as temperature and viscosity. This transition to classical mechanics can also be seen by the density matrix transitioning from having off-diagonal elements (the pure quantum states) to being a diagonal matrix (in the classical case).
I definitely feel like I enjoy it more-- especially because you actually went through the elements of the equation. I know that a 10 minute video can only give a cursory look, but most people just do a little hand-waving and say "this equation says ALL you need to know" without explaining even the basics of HOW the equation does it. So this was awesome!
Is it so? At least here in Spain all equations and formulas are thoroughly explained and derived.
As a mathematician i will be certain that my 9 years old child will get what is all about with your presentation. Love your energy :)
7:07 "But what about the wave function? Where,...[pause]...is the electron?" - This really got me!! Awesome video...super simplified explanation of such tricky concept. Loved your energy!
I believe schrodinger must have understood that better if you were there to help him 😂😂😂😂😂
HAHAHAA
Very well done Jade.
Without overly extending the explanation as is and thus making it less comprehensible, I'd try to include brief allusions to the following with possibly links to further details:-
The wave function itself - how and why it's form was chosen, i.e. why is it complex, what's its relation to Euler's identity, why did it need to be wave-like to begin with etc.
A reminder on what k are w are and what they represent in the wave function.
A reminder where the de Broglie relation comes from, the matter wavelength relation to momentum and how k fits into that and why.
A quick work through the Schrödinger equation derivation you gave the briefest snapshot of - it is very good, clear and concise but may overwhelm those new to it, without an explanation of what is being substituted into where and when.
A justification as to why squaring the wave function yields the probability function of finding the electron at each location.
EDIT: Just found your What is The Quantum Wave Function, Exactly video, excellent.
6:18 Thanks for the derivation. I believed you, by inspection, but I like to see where it comes from.
There's no derivations for this eq
@@brb4903 your voice is low
@@paulineoyweri1035 wtf
For the derivation, i have been taught that we usually take the general form of waves as
A*sin(wt ± kx).
look into euler's identity
Ok thanks,
Your explanations are so clear and concise, and your presentation style makes the experience of learning incredibly enjoyable. Thank you very much for for all the time and effort you put into making these videos.
Jade, you’re like the daughter I never had. You help viewers get excited about learning subjects they think they never could! Great work.
Beautiful and Brilliant(not the website).... my goodness some people are just amazing.
I've had coursework in quantum particle physics and struggled to get the gist of it (basically, it's not possible to fully understand how these little fellas can do all this "weird" stuff...ya just gotta accept particle-wave, uncertainty, tunneling, superposition, and entanglement...until further notice.)
You have an amazing ability to get it across to others who don't understand it!! (I am a college tutor and am always amazed at your ability to "break it down and explain it".)
Thank you, Jade!!
Awesome. I’m not a physicist but learning more. Your explanations are thoughtful, interesting, and help to build an intuition for dense topics. Thanks!
that teenage bedroom scene is the best illustration of this concept ever. well done!
Well, except I would guess that Jade's wave function would collapse to a higher probability of studying than the 1% character in her animation.
I understood it I'm 16 and do 1h work a day
Cant be more better , I have happy finally i am grown enough to actually study this in my educational curriculum and come here to understand it fully.
The Wave function doesnt tell you where the electron is likely yo be. It is the square of the wave function. The Wave function itself has no physical interpretación, and it's not just a detail. It's fundamental.
Or, the wave function really is an electron and when measured the law of conservation of energy limits that measurement to one place. Otherwise, it would be infinite energy.
My (grade10) class: *Has a physics test tomorrow*
Me: *learning out of syllabus quantum physics*
Same here bro
my grade (10) is learning chemistry, while i’m learning quantum physics lmao. (grade 11 is physics for me)

@@finnwilliams830 So what if you do?
This equation was the wall which I never could clear because it involves imaginary numbers (complex numbers) and accepting that it described reality was accepting that reality could never be understood, even at it's simplest level. I tried for a year to transpose this equation into one that would use " real numbers" and failed. I am a lawyer now.
Cool explanation, it's very clear. I think that the point of promoting classical observables to operators could be stated directly (especially since there is no a priori reason for doing so).
Very well thought out, Jade 😊
hey,I don't know you also comment on other youtube channels
Duuuuuude, you're here too? Awesome
pranjal verma, I do occasionally when I really like a video.
Feynstein 100, I'm everywhere! (Also, Jade and I are friends.)
The Science Asylum Until we observe you?
I am from India and I am studying quantum chemistry, when i found many videos on schrodinger equation, i just randomly clicked yours but trust me when i listened i feel much better about my schrodinger equation. thank you so much.
Did the box have air holes??? I'm just sayin'. Why didn't I have teachers like you at school. You are enthusiastic and personable. I might have turned out intelligent! (My whole life has been potential energy)
I'm sure you're intelligent. It's time to turn that potential energy into kinetic energy!
"Don't let yo dreams be dreams kid!" (Probably not a kid 😂) your life is what you make of it!
First he must realise; a box never has holes, by definition. Or it aint a box.
Same here.trying to understand everything and not getting them.Anyways,the video was a really really relly great one.It builds up quite an understanding and the style you explainis great.love from Bangladesh.
Eco Geek You sound like a mathematician. Humor me: how far off am I?
This was the best explanation I’ve ever seen. You make it so understandable. Most videos of the schrödigner equation doesn’t really talk about what each individual symbol means. But yours did.
6 years ago, and your video is still applicable today. Simply legacy 👏. Also, thank you for your project attached to the video. It helped me understand the concept of "particles in a box" more.
Best video explaination of Schrödinger equation on the internet
I suck at math and formulas but you explained it in a way that I could follow very well!
Animation is Top notch and explanation is mind blowing
I love videos on quantum mechanics and this is probably one of the easiest to understand. Your delivery and explanation was clear and pretty easy to follow 👍🏽 good stuff! Also that was the first time (in years of watching videos on the topic) that the reasoning/correlation behind the discrete energy levels and wavelength was made clear
She was awesomee ..Professor dave explains this very easily too
Thank you for explaining this to people like me, who are very interested in physics but have not have the chance to actually study physics in college.
Actually its chemistry sis😂
@@paritoshattri672 it's quantum mechanics. Attribute it to any subject, physics or chemistry. But there's something you must know; it's more physics than chemistry.
Guess you are in class XI right now.
@@paritoshattri672 you do realise chemistry is basically applied physics which is essentially applied maths. At higher levels all 3 subjects merge and there is no longer really much separation between them.
Waaawo.. I have studied this course 20 years ago but amazed to see younger generations has a better understanding of it.. Well done
Great video and, I must say, you are a great explainer. You provide information in an easy way to understand and, most important, in a fun and compelling manner. Well done.
4:58 wasn't Einstein who discovered the relation between Energy and frequency but Max Planck in 1900, with the astonishing Planck postulate
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck%E2%80%93Einstein_relation
Planck originally thought that h was a placeholder. Einstein solidified it. You can call _E=hf_ by any of its popular names without robbing Planck of any credit.
Remember,
E=pc
E=hc/λ
E=hf
The point isn't the connection between energy and frequency - it's the connection of momentum to a massless object based on its wavelength and the quantum scale. Frequency is just good bookkeeping and very handy.
@@Ni999 thanks. I'd add that what matters isn't simply a relation between E and f but the fact that h is a constant, so that energy get quantized and has only discrete values; but that aspect is very well explained in the video
It's like becoming the, "Jesus of physics," Then suddenly, Peter Griffin can top that weekend. 😎
@@Ni999 To quote my late high school physics teacher, Rory Dickens, delta E to delta f = h slope.
E = h × (1/T) [1/T = Frequency]
h = Planck's constant
this is what i call creativity studying for a whole semester to simplify it for an audience who is interested in it keep going
Is the presenter wearing a *12 tone* t-shirt???
I'm impressed!
One of my favorite channels!
yes 12tone is great!
Hecatonicosachoron Her shirt brought me here...
Well, that's the first time I actually feel I understand a tiny bit about quantum physics - ie, what wave function actually means and it's connection with discrete energy levels. Super video.
So, basically, the Schrödinger equation is a quantum mechanical wave function which describes how electron orbitals combine to form atoms. These experiments helped explain the structure of atoms and molecules.
These experiments showed that quantum mechanics is indeed correct, and the Schrödinger equation will be used to develop new technologies in many different areas. Applications include how atoms form molecules, which are two or more atoms bonded together. Very important for creating drugs and new materials.
Also, the Schrödinger equation can be used to describe interactions between electrons and nuclei. In chemistry, quantum mechanics is useful for explaining how electron orbitals are formed in atoms.
your speaking style at 7:09 blew my heart of my body!!

CORRECTION: At 1:00, instead of ħ, ħ/2 should come.
Right, or h/4pi

Seems a better analogy than a kid in her room would be a kid let loose in a big apartment store. You get high a high probability that they may be in the toy section or the sports section or in the candy section, etc., but they could also be traveling between those places when you actually look. Even if they were in the toy section, they could be in front of one toy, or another, or playing randomly with a toy along the aisle somewhere.
As a parent, I can assure you that raising a child can be very quantum, especially when you’re looking for them.

Thanks for adding the proof!!!! It's so beautiful to see how from one simple concept like energy conservation one can get such interesting equations!

Thank you for the excellent explanation. What I think makes the Schrodinger Equation difficult for non-physicists is that the metaphor of a cat in a box is confusing. The cat in the box is already an observer of sorts. Even if the animal cannot see in the darkness, that doesn't eliminate other forms of observation, such as feeling, smell, or other sensations. This should be enough complexity for the wave function to collapse.
Your videos are getting better and better! And the animation is very nice too!
thank you :)
Love the 12-tone shirt! It makes me happy that other physicists and mathematicians appreciate music theory. Thanks for the video!
Maybe you could make an item about a music subject.
Believe it or not, fourier analysis is actually a link between the two subjects (music theory and quantum mechanics).
@@DinoDudeDillon I do believe it. I'm pretty obsessed with frequency modulation synthesis and the harmonic series as well as quantum mechanics. There are some astounding parallels in our universe
@@SamChaneyProductions sound engineer, musician, synth enthusiast here. Awesome how we all end up studying this stuff as it is incredibly relative.
Music theory involves waves due to sound waves so it can be surprisingly helpful when I was learning spectroscopy 😂

I really love your explanation it is really helpful for the preparation of IIT . Love from India !
Excellent explanation allowed me to bypass months of math learning to understand Shrodinger Equation.
For those of you trying to make it through the derivation, dPsi/dx is a partial derivative, meaning that omega and t are treated as constants. This is often shown as sigmaPsi/sigmax.
P.S. Thank you for making a video that shows the math, and doesn't just say "...and that goes beyond the scope of this video"
Though i hope nobody is getting their PhD from watching RUclips. LoL
I don’t take quantum mechanics. I’m a high school student who have barely started calculus. I can’t stop watching these stuff. What am I doing with my life.
If you want you can teach yourself partial derivatives. It’s in calc 3. Basically deriving for x in one vector position and y In the other. Makes more sense once you finish calc 3. And physics
I really did not get this stuff until Advanced Mathematics [Kreysig] in grad school.
Your degree of happiness while explaining the concept is marvelous. You enjoy the teaching and transfer the same to the viewers.
Such a well rounded and hypnotising.. explanation
Hope she understood your comment. I did 😂
You are doing a tremendous good job explaining it so it's more understandable 👍😁
This, this right here, wiped out 92% of my P-Chem class in undergraduate. Only 8 of us struggled through the math to finish the year of study, at the end of which our professor, Dr. Schelly, educated in Germany and living in Texas at the time, gave us all a bumper sticker declaring to the visible universe that we had passed P-Chem! Still, to this day, the most difficult class ever attempted out of Adkin's Text book, including any of my graduate classes in Mathematics or Physics.

you're such a good teacher, thank you! 😄
Thank you, Madam, 🙏for the wonderful videos on science and mathematics. I am from India and studied for a few semesters of physics before switching to medicine. I am still interested in physics(especially quantum mechanics, cosmology and the theory of relativity), philosophy ( I happened to visit the Bertrand Russel Archives in Canada in August) and mathematics. You make my life easier by presenting certain aspects of modern science ( physics/mathematics etc. that interest me most. As a physician, I do have not enough time to read the original papers etc on physics. When I was a student at the University of Vienna, I was supposed to stay in a hostel next to the house where Erwin schrädinger was supposed to have lived. I remember having read a book titled " In Search of Schrodinger's Cat " which gave me a brief introduction to quantum mechanics. I have already subscribed to your channel and whenever I have time I would watch your RUclips videos.
