How to create photons you can see

- Scintillating detectors at CERN rely on luminescence, sometimes known as "cold light", to detect high-energy particles. In the first video of the online course of the #CERNSolvayEducation Programme, we discuss how light is created, how incandescence ("warm light") differs from luminescence ("cold light") and how we use the latter in scintillation detectors. Find the interactive version of this video over on our website: cern.ch/photons.
As part of the education portfolio of #CERNScienceGateway, the #CERNSolvayEducation programme was launched by CERN jointly with @SolvayGroup for the #STEMeducation of high-schoolers. It is designed for teenagers who want to go beyond high-school physics and get an introduction to CERN #physics and #technology. In each video, you can test your understanding by answering quiz questions. If you are at least 16 years old, you can enrol for free in the online CERN-Solvay Education Programme towards obtaining a digital certificate, which will allow you to apply for a CERN-Solvay residential student camp.

That was great. Looking forward to more videos from CERN.
This was so crucial to my understanding of the link between light and electrons, many thanks!
Great format CERN, keep it up.
Very didatic and interesting
Amazing! I need more like this
I can see photons since my childhood with naked eyes.
It was my hobby to set in sunlight and enjoy photons shower and try to focus on one and observe it's movement.
This phenomenon is more visible in early hours of sun rise, although you can observe it any time in daylight.
9:43 the accompanying sound effect is synaesthetically appropriate which is conducive to learning.
Very concise! Thank you :)
Hi CERN! I love your work
Great explanation and I loved the animations. It made the content easy to understand.
Thanks for the video. Looking forward to more such content.
And to be honest, it is my dream to work at CERN. So, hoping to get there some day.
Well, if you were to say the same things in a physics exam, then they will never let you work at CERN. They will simply fail you. :-)
Fantastically explained...
One million points to you. Thanks
In fact, there is nothing particularly special about incandescence which sets it apart from other forms of luminescence if we think about it a little deeper. In incandescence, the electrons are still individually only emitting discrete photons of energy at specific single wavelengths, or colors, and they're still restricted to "jumping" in specific quantum transitions of energy. It's just that there is such an enormous multitude of individual energy levels available to an electron in a solid material like iron in a forge, or molten rock in flowing lava, or collagen molecules in your skin, that taken together they appear to continuously fill the entire spectrum. Incandescence is simply the word humans use when an object is hot enough such that the "blackbody" radiation it emits is short enough in wavelength to be detected by the unaided eye. This temperature is called the Draper point, and for humans, it occurs at ~525 °C.
8:34 technically, the electron frequency, since it both a particle and a wave, increases or decreases in response to incident photons.
the video was very informative. thank u
Also completely wrong in many aspects. If this was written by a physicist, then he needs to give his degree back. ;-)
Surely colour is created by the cortex? Not by “sources” outside….idk.
Everybody has the gift to see photons.
Blind people be like 👁️👄👁️
Great video! How can I find other videos in this education series? Hashtags are of no help and on CERN website there's nothing on this. If I'm not aware of something, then please leave me a comment.
Hi,
In the description you can find the link for the playlist. It has 3 videos only.
How can I use this in quantum computing?
How to create something you can see... Our eyes always see this stuff. Cool.. It's science.
Real question, how can we actually define the size of photon?
There some audio editing mistake(s) ~5 min mark, levels are off.
How to detect non existing pretend particles called Photons. Ok, I got it.
CERN? They'll never catch up to speed. Why? Because what they do is smash and crash. Not pass along and through.
turn on a lightbulb
Q: How to create photons you can see?
A: Turn on the light. Or heat a metal.
Simple. 19:15 mins saved.
Yawn material.
Whoever at CERN was in charge of the audio in this video should be fired.
chill
Booooo
What a bunch of bullshit. Electrons don't like to be exited... so we can see them. It's really cool.
