  • de Broglie hypothesised that electrons can exist as standing waves around an atom.
    In tie video I explain what this means and use a useful device to demonstrate this.

    Brilliant demonstration than those pictures models!! Loved it!! Very well explained and made more sense even now 👍👍

    Good to work in the wave - environment dissipation as the governor of what it means to have harmonics in resonance: solitons are minimal dissipations; resonances are non-unitary minima.
    Anharmonics shift along a gradient toward dissipative dissonance and chaotic systems

    Thank you very much sir. Your explanation really help me a lot. and it is useful!!

    Wow! It's an interesting explanation.

    What is the brand and name of that device and is it available for retail purchase?

    I have one question:
    Isn't one standing wave formed when two oppositely travelling waves superimpose with each other leading to alternating constructive and destructive interference at the anti-nodes and nodes respectively?
    Then how can the single electron, forming a single matter wave in the bohr atom, form a standing wave?

      So I'm also currently trying to learn about the wave property of electrons but I'm still in school, so don't take my word for the following, I'm at the very beginning.
      But from what I found in another video I think the standing wave is not the actual path of the electron but a representation of the probability distribution of where to find the electron at any give time where the "tips of the wave" would be areas of the highest probability of encountering the electron, the nodes subsequently the lowest probabilities.

    People should ditch the point particle model of electrons and start building new model solely bulit on wave model.
    Even quantization of energy could be explained by wave model. One could even hypothesized that it's not the energy of light that quantized, but the interaction with atoms and electrons made them seems so.

    Sir actually in this example, you have interpreted the loop for electron or the orbit in which it revolves. Since if you meant the loop to be an electron then can you also explain the absorption and emission of light by an electron with this same interpretation.

    • @PhysicsHigh

      This is a simplifies model. I need a specific amount of energy in order to go from one standing wave to the next harmonic. This is like the absorption. However, this is where the model breaks down. Whereas in the model I can gradually increase the frequency until I achieve resonance, in reality , only a specific energy, and thus frequency (E=hf) will cause the next resonance. Nothing will happen for any other intermediate frequency.

    • @prosmusic6846
      @prosmusic6846 9 месяцев назад

      So in short,th light waves cause higher resonance in these loops, which we say classically as electrons are in exited state,right?

      @@prosmusic6846 In essence, but remember this is a simplified model and its de Broglie explanation which is based on a hydrogen atom. The more robust model is not the Schrödinger model which is more complex

      Thank you for explaining sir, it would be nice to have a good visual interpretation for Schrodinger equations

    So it's like an integer number of sinewaves wrapped around a circle? Even my smooth brain can understand that.
    Is it a meaningful question to ask how long an oscillation takes? Or is it one of those "only in relation to something else" kind of things?

    • @PhysicsHigh
      @PhysicsHigh  2 года назад +1

      Good question, but not really. de Broglie hypothesis gives a solution to Bohr problem but is an incomplete model A better model is the Schrödinger's model. The electrons can be descries as waves but they are much more complex and are more about probability. I suggest you watch my video on this
