I am magnifying the whole slit so it is of length d. The argument is that in the circumstances I describe, you can think of the slit as being of two halves (each of d/2). Light from any point in the top half will be exactly out of phase (ie will cancel out) light from the corresponding point in the lower half. So all the light from the top half cancels the light from the bottom half (at the angle theta).
This series is GREAT. At school (1960s), did General Science, ), not enough physics there. Following hobby of astronomy-cosmology, I've been aware of gaps needing knowledge. Using YT physics clips to fill my gaps. Kinda knew some of it, but back to basics makes me see relationships as never before. I can follow the math. In my 60s now, still love steep learning curves. I learn better these days, no exams, just the joy of knowing. Thanks a 10 to the minus 6. It's a joy. UR never 2 old 2 learn!
Loving the fact there's so many people watching these videos as last minute revision! They're so informative and everything is explained really well! Thank you :-)
Lamda is defined as the wavelength - ie the distance between consecutive peaks in the wave. Frequency is defined by the number of wave peaks passing a point per second. The speed of the wave is the product of the two.
Much depends on where you draw the x axis. A trough isn't usually defined in that way. A trough is the point at which the wave reaches its lowest point on the y axis, just as a crest it where the wave reaches its highest point on the y axis. Eg y = sin x
Your videos are amazing! I am first year undergraduate physics major and I proved that e&m waves travel at c after watching your videos and I understand the whole derivation and proof and can do it on my own no problem! Thank you!
You are quite right. Its a moot point whether that counts as internal reflection. But as you say, beyond the critical angle it certainly is internally reflected.
Thanks for comment. I'm not really sure what the benefits of polarisation might be. Google suggests some. But polarised glasses will reduce the amount of light entering the eye and can also reduce reflected sunlight (glare) which is itself polarised.
This was brilliant, like having a revision lesson without being at school! But a lesson I can pause, rewind etc as often as I need to. I was really struggling with standing waves, but you've helped me, thanks a lot!
Thank you, I am an A* Student and I have been struggling a lot with this unit and this has really cleared a lot of things up for me. Thank you so much for your help!
I like the clock mooing. I will also add that these videos are of tremendous interest to me and that I appreciate your effort and your candidness in presenting them.
sin r = 1 at the critical angle. This is the angle at which the angle of refraction is 90 degrees (ie along the surface of the water/glass). sin 90 =1. Beyond the critical angle, all the light is totally internally reflected.
This can get very philosophical. The speed changes and there is a compensating change in wavelength such that c=λf, but f itself does not change. The energy of the photons do not change (since E=hf). But the key point is that in order for you to see the colour the light has to leave the medium (glass, water etc) to travel thro your eye to your retina. So the only real sense of colour is that which is determined by the wavelength and frequency of light in your eye as it hits the retina.
A good way to understand phase difference is to consider two waves with the same frequency, wavelength and amplitude which start out at different points. How far is the second wave behind the first one? You could give the answer in terms of distance - but that wouldn't tell us very much. We could give the answer in terms of wavelength. So if the second wave was half a wavelength behind then the two waves would be completely out of phase. Or you could regard each wavelength as 1 cycle = 2 pi rads
Not sure I can do that at present, but I see from the internet that there are ways of downloading from RUclips for later viewing in the style of a podcast.
Thank very much Sir! I respect teachers because they teach you what they love teaching and only those who have a passion to teach others teach to a good standard. May God guide you and be with you. Best wishes, physics student
Path difference is just a measure of how much out of phase one wave is with respect to another. It can be measured in terms of wavelengths. But the key point is the fraction of a wavelength by which one wave is out of sync. This can be expressed either in terms of wavelengths of radians (2 pi rads = 1 wavelength). Frequency doesn't really afffect path length. No matter what the frequency two waves can be out of phase.
Well frequency is one divided by the Period (T). T is measured in seconds. Frequency is measured in cycles per second. So frequency tells you how many cycles or wavelengths pass a particular point per second. T tells you how long it takes one wave to pass the given point.
@SailaMaham Yes that is exactly what happens. On a screen placed a few metres from the slit you will see an intense blob of light in the centre fading to a dark fringe then it become light again, then dark, although the flight areas become significantly less intense after that.
Because for a small angle the hypotenuse and the adjacent are almost equal. So for small angles sin theta is the same as tan theta in terms of significant figures.
The idea is that every point along the slit is a source of light so every point generates a light ray (the Huygens principle). I drew in the ones at the top and bottom of the slit and one in the middle. Then I show that every light ray in the top half exactly cancels the corresponding ray in the lower half.
Sorry about that. What we are saying is that as light passes through a double slit it will form a pattern on the screen which is a series of alternating light and dark patches (a series of black and white stripes if you like). These are called fringes. We usually call each light stripe the fringe and the distance between any two fringes is the distance from the peak whiteness of one to the peak whiteness of the next.
Thanks for kind comments. Quantum Mechanics is bizarre. We don't mean that particles travel as waves we mean that particles are waves. My advice for what it is worth, is that the best way of understanding quantum mechanics is not to try to equate it with anything in the classical world. Analogies can be helpful but are often misleading. Just accept that the quantum mechanics world is weird and counter-intuitive when compared with the classical world we inhabit.
It's all down to quantum effects. Low energy photons (visible light/UV) tend to give up all their energy to an electron. Higher energy photons (in the X ray region) can show the Compton effect whereby they do give up only part of their energy to the electron and then recoil with lower energy (and lower frequency). Very high energy photons can give rise to pair production (eg electron-positron).
I see some have responded already on this. As they say, EM waves all travel at the speed of light. The difference is their wavelength and frequency. But the produce of the two is always c. The more general answer is that EM radiation consists of massless photons whose energy is E=hf. All massless particles must travel at c. They cannot go slower, or faster.
At 21:00 I am showing a particular light wave which is at angle ϴ (ie the angle which will produce a dark patch on the screen). This means that at that angle, the light waves reaching that point on the screen are canceling each other out. Geometry relates ϴ, d and λ. So we show what the condition is for light waves to cancel out.
There are various ways photons interact with matter, but the key one for the issue you raise is that some photons give up all their energy as opposed to a partial loss of energy by all photons. For example a photon might transfer its energy (E-hf) to an electron and liberate the electron from the atom with an excess of Kinetic Energy that is eventually converted to heat energy. The photon beam would then be less intense but photons which had not interacted would retain their original energy.
I like the way he explained!! I need this man guys!!!! he's explaining better than mt teacher, I feel that he's is understanding what he's saying not like the other only say what they know and he also explain slower. really I like this man!! and I need him also!
The velocity of a EM wave changes in different media. Since frequency remains the same the wavelength must change. A beam of light which could be regarded as a wave, has millions of photons. But if you are talking about representing subatomic particles as waves rather than particles then the particle is itself also a wave. Each particle is also its own wave.
n is an integer 1, 2, 3 etc. It is the number of the fringe (ie bright spot) from the centre. You can have as many fringes as can be fitted into the formula nλ/d = sin ϴ. ϴ can never be more than 90 degrees.
Think of it in terms of photons. The energy of a photon E = hf (where h is Planck's constant and f is frequency of the light). If f were to change then there would be a change in energy. Where would the energy gain/loss arise?
Just found this channel recently and this is perfect for getting a good grasp on Physics. Luckily, Physics is Linear so given I get a pass, I can use these videos to boost my grade greatly.
I'm not sure which exam board you are doing but my A Level Physics playlist should cover all the material you are likely to need. I also have a series of 7 videos on electromagnetic waves in the Electricty and Magentism playlist starting with "What is light?" but that is likely to be more advanced than you will need.
They are permittivity of free space and permeability of free space respectively. I haven't done separate videos on them. For A Level it isn't necessary to know the detail of these constants.
I assume you mean something like a sound wave. A sound wave propagates as a longitudinal wave by causing oscillations in the air which unlike transverse waves results in air molecules being pushed back and forth creating areas of compressed air and rarefied air which are constantly changing.
My A Level Physics playlist covers all the material that I am aware of for the main Board's British A Level syllabus (apart from some biophysics material) - although these videos are revision material and not a substitute for A Level teaching.
If 2 waves are not in sync, then ask yourself by how much of a wavelength (or cycle) one lags behind the other. So suppose it is a quarter of a wavelength. Then you know that 1 wavelength = 1 cycle = 360 degrees = 2 pi radians. So now you can express the phase diff in degrees or radians or wavelengths. Where do I say n=1/2lamda?
Remember that it doesnt matter what medium the light is traveling through, even if you are in the water. In order to see the light, it has to leave that medium and enter your eye. So you always see the colour of light as it travels thro your eye, irrespective of the medium it was in before it entered your eye.
Would love to hear a lecture on transmission line theory. Most video's online are not very helpful. I have watched almost all your videos and can say learned something new in each one. You have a special gift of taking complicated theory and relaying it simply to the everyday person.
Thanks again. It makes sense now!!! The photon has to pass through the eyeball to reach the retina. The eyeball is gelatinous and will further slow down the light and change the wavelength depending on the refractive index of the eye material so it doesn't matter on what type of medium that the photon has to travel through before it reached the eye. Thanks a lot for replying!...........I have got it ! eureka !!
It's what happens if you throw 2 stones into a pond and watch the waves overlap (they may not be the same amplitude). You still get superposition but since they are of different magnitude you dont get total destructive interference.
i agree,DrPhysicsA have great method explaining physics,to the point theoretically yet still engage intuitively.please expand your teaching by give problems to solve mr DrPhysicsA !
It's already there. See my video on "Geometric Optics - A Level Physics". Go to my RUclips home page and select the A Level Physics playlist (on right hand side). you'll find it half way down.
All to do with harmonics. A trumpet and violin each playing middle C will produce the same fundamental (256 Hz). But they produce different harmonics each with different ampltudes. The C will be dominant but the harmonics affect the overall tonet. if harmonics were of the same strength as the fundamental you would hear a chord. But they are much less so you hear a different tone. Some composers try to achieve a similar effect with one dominant instrument and others playing harmonics at pppp.
I really couldn't improve on the excellent lecture given by Prof Walter Lewin of MIT on this. Search for "Walter Lewin - 8.02" and you should get to his lecture course 8.02. Go to lecture 6 which covers high voltage breakdown and sparks.
electrocat1 Well spotted. An error on my part deriving from my youth when the very high end of the EM spectrum was called cosmic rays. Now this term is used for high energy particles from space. What we used to call cosmic rays are now as you say very high energy gamma rays.
Well it probably depends on the syllabus you are studying. But if your teacher didn't cover it in your course then its probably not in your syllabus. Can you check with any of your fellow students or teacher?
Sir im an international student doing a levels in UK. i find it hard to learn in class bcs of the fast phase the teacher is teaching and its hard for me to understand his strong accent. but your video have helped me a lot through physics. Thank you so much. God bless.
I'm not sure. I make videos of A level subjects which should cover material in most syllabuses. But I'm not sufficiently aware of the material required for each individual exam board.
I can't believe nobody's commented on how awesome his accent is yet.

youve genuinely made everything ive been taught in class become clear to me now
Sounds like the exam solutions guy..
The gap thro which the wave passes has to be broadly the same size as the wavelength. That's why sound "diffracts" through a door but light doesn't.
This is probably the best thing to happen to RUclips. Thank You.
Well frequency is one divided by the Period (T). T is measured in seconds. Frequency is measured in cycles per second. So frequency tells you how many cycles or wavelengths pass a particular point per second. T tells you how long it takes one wave to pass the given point.
I've just started A-levels but I need to do really well so watching these early on should help with revision later on as i'll just need to recap
All good wishes with your studies.

Yes you rightly make the point that photons travel at c only in vacuum (and more or less in air). But slower in denser media.

I drew in the ones at the top and bottom of the slit and one in the middle. Then I show that every light ray in the top half exactly cancels the corresponding ray in the lower half.

And you could then express the half a wavelength in terms of radians (ie pi in this case).

Love watching these in 2020 quarantine
Where were these videos last year during my AS? D:
Subscribed, time to get an A and start early with revision!
I'm not sure. I make videos of A level subjects which should cover material in most syllabuses. But I'm not sufficiently aware of the material required for each individual exam board.
By playing these over and over in my sleep i hope to remember it
Hello, could you please do a video specifically on the critical angle?
I don't have access to it. Is it on the web somewhere? Is there a link?
34:17, Is it total internal reflection if the angle of incidence is equal to the critical angle, or just if it is larger than the critical angle?
Your channel is fantastic, thx you so much ... I am watching them all
Delighted to hear that. Keep going for that A!
3:20 Is that all about compression and rarefaction?
