    That was well explained. But in this example we had this charged particle which was oscillating and thus generated the oscillating E field we can call EM wave. But we get EM wave when ever charged particle is in acceleration don't we? So that it doesn't need to osculate? Is there a way to explain the emission of em wave in that case? Also a student of mine asked about the phase shift of 180 degrees that occurs in the Electric Field of a EM wave, when reflected from an optically denser medium. Is there an intuitive way to explain that or is it just pure math? Thanks in advance!

      Hello Visa,
      Question1 (acceleration of charged particle): Yes, we do, because accelerating the charge, will create a perpendicular disturbance in the field lines (thus a variation in the direction of the E Field). A variation of the electric field is radiation. A good visualisation is provided by this video: ruclips.net/video/uVB3G_Edim4/видео.html. And you can explore more with this inspiring simulation: ruclips.net/video/oH7WRKglKNk/видео.html
      The second question was trickier (why phase change of pi). It is hard to avoid the post high school math here… and it is true that most lecturers explain that it occurs and when, but not why…
      You can roughly see it that way, by referring to the amplitude reflection coefficient Erefl/Eincident = r = (n1-n2)/(n1+n2). When n2>n1 the ratio of amplitudes is negative, implying a phase flip. More info here: www.usna.edu/Users/physics/mungan/_files/documents/Scholarship/PhaseChange.pdf
      Good questions!
      I hope my answers help you.

    If you could answer these that would be awesome! Great video btw!

    • @PhysicsMadeEasy
      @PhysicsMadeEasy  5 месяцев назад

      Hi Hunter, the receiving antenna actually receives all signals from all nearby emitting antennas. It is a small filtering circuit located in the circuit containing the receiving antenna that will select the frequency of interest thus the emitting antenna of interest (for example, with vintage radio receivers, the passing band of the filtering circuit is controlled by a rotary button).
      The antenna does not "read" one electron, but trillions and trillions that are submitted to the EM wave the same way (statistically, the evolution of the resulting current).
      I hope this helps!

    When that bar in the example is emmiting visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum, is it also emitting photons?
    And does that mean....as far as particles go...infrared also produces photons....and even radio waves produce photons?

    • @PhysicsMadeEasy
      @PhysicsMadeEasy  8 месяцев назад +1

      Hi QQ,
      in this video, i remain in the framework of classical physics that sees light as the propagation of the oscillation of an electromagnetic field. In quantum mechanics, light is viewed as a flow of particles called photons.
      These photons are like tiny pieces of energy, like localized pulses, which have thus a frequency and a wavelength (E-h* frequencyf=hc/wavelength. that frequency or wavelength has the same value as the one that shows up in the classical description of light.
      So yes, visible light is made of "visible" photons, infrared is made of "infrared" photons and radiowaves are made of "radio" photons.

    This was definitely amazing! I was looking for an explanation how electromagnetic waves work or travel, and this was the video that finally made me understand the whole concept. But here are some questions, the oscillating electrons create the oscillating electric field which results in EM waves, so does this wave go on forever? Does it not get weakened as it travels? If so, then does light get weaker too as it travels (Which I think yes)? And is that the same reason we see faded light when it comes from a distance?
    And how was the very first light created without an oscillating charge?
    Thanks a lot! Your videos are great, keep it up~

      Hello Sakib,
      - The oscillating electrons create the oscillating electric field which results in EM waves, so does this wave go on forever? -
      If there is no other electric field to disturb it on the way, yes it will.
      - Does it not get weakened as it travels? - In a purely static space empty of gravitational mass, no, it will not lose energy and go on forever.
      - If so, then does light get weaker too as it travels (Which I think yes)? -
      Light is the sum of rays. Each ray is an electromagnetic wave. A light source (or antenna) emits in all directions. Draw a point on a piece of paper (the source of light). Draw twelve lines going away of that point (in different directions). What you perceive as the intensity of light, is the concentration of these lines. You see they are more concentrated close to the source than when they are away… That is what you perceive as the weakening of light. But each line stays a line of the same thickness, each ray conserves its energy…
      - And how was the very first light created without an oscillating charge? -
      You mean at the beginning of the Universe? Charges were there before light (electric charge is a conserved property).

    Intelligently explaining the concept of EM. I have one question: Do EM waves we generate have mass and are EM waves use air particles as medium when they are transmitted from the source to the destination?? Thanks!

    • @PhysicsMadeEasy
      @PhysicsMadeEasy  8 месяцев назад

      Hi Jehan,
      Within a classical physics context, EM waves are the propagation of an electric field fluctuation . No information can travel faster than the speed of light, so the speed is that of light. As the speed of an EM wave can be measured as being that of light, it cannot have any mass, but it does visualize the transport of energy (so according to General relativity, spacetime will be affected by the EM wave, the same way mass does)
      Because of the delay due to the limited speed of propagation of information, the oscillations of the charged source ends up with the shape of a wave propagating from the source. In other words, it is not something that is material, and therefore does not need a material medium (like air particle) to propagate.

      Hi Amarbadran. I am glad you enjoyed the video and that it helped you understand how an antenna works.
      Please note that this is not exactly how a standard lamp works... the concept in the video works for low frequency EM waves like Radiowaves or microwaves.
      But if you tried to do this with visible light, although conceptually correct (it is the acceleration of charged particles that generate light), other phenomena would come into play and the experiment would not work.
      If you want to know how light is emitted by the sun or by a light bulb, check my videos about black bodies.

    NICE EXPLANATION,
    1] BUT AT 01:50 THE SECOND BAR WERE PLACED IN THE ELECTRIC FIELD SO THEY CAN TRANSMIT SIGNAL IN THAT CLOSER DISTANCE BETWEEN THEM, WHAT IF THE BAR IS PLACED TO FAR AWAY, AT SUCH DISTANCE THAT THEY ARE NOT IN THE FIELD, WILL THEY STILL TRANSMIT SIGNAL, HOW?
    2] WHY ALL ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES PROPAGATES AT THE SAME SPEED IN VACCUM REGARDLESS OF THEIR ENERGY. FOR EG, THOUGH THERE IS MUCH DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ENERGIES OF GAMMA RAYS AND RADIO 📻 WAVES, THEY TRAVEL AT THE SAME SPEED, WHY?
    3] FROM WHERE DOES THESE ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES/RADIATIONS GET ENERGY?
    4] WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 'ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES' AND 'ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION' ( I AM ASKING THIS QUESTION BECAUSE WE USE THE TERMS VELOCITY AND SPEED INTERCHANGEABLY WRONG, SO DON'T WANT TO BE WITH ELECTROMAGNETIC MAGNETIC (WAVES "OR" RADIATION)
    WAITING FOR ANSWER.

    • @PhysicsMadeEasy
      @PhysicsMadeEasy  Год назад

      Hello Swap,
      1/ Well if you move away from the transmitting antenna of a radio station, you’ll end up having trouble receiving your favorite radio show ! The signal will get weaker and weaker and then wil get lost in noise.
      Concretely, the energy of the EM wave decreases as the inverse square of the distance.
      2/As you know, the speed of light is invariant. Using classical physics, one can show that the energy carried by an EM wave is related to the amplitude of the oscillation of the electric field and the pulsation of the wave (or frequency of the wave). Using quantum mechanics, it depends on the density of photons and their associated frequency.
      3/ The source of an EM wave is an oscillating charge. An oscillating charge implies an oscillating force applied to it. The work provided by that force to the charge is the energy source of the EM wave.
      4/ The difference is not physical, just semantic. When considering classical physics, one should use the term EM Wave. When considering quantum physics,, one should use EM Radiation. Physically, these describe the same phenomena, the difference is just a question of perspective.
      Oh, and consider using small caps when writing. Large caps means that you are shouting or screaming. Physics is a subject that should always inspire coolness ;-)

    Great illustration and explanation! Now, if I use direct current to heat a filament and produce light, what determines the frequency of the electro-magnetic waves?

    • @PhysicsMadeEasy
      @PhysicsMadeEasy  Год назад

      Hello Christopher,
      The filament will emit light not because of the oscillations of the AC current passing through it, but because that current heats the filament. The light bulb is made such that heat has trouble dissipating away (The bulb is under vacuum). Consequently, The temperature of the filament rises, and the filament acts like a black body emitting light for which the maximum intensity is for a wavelength that is inversely proportional to temperature (Wien's law). The integral of that intensity over all wavelengths (i.e. the total intensity of the light), depends on the 4th power of the temperature (Stefan Boltzman's law). Check my videos on black bodies if you want to know the details.
