Stellar Physics 1b: Photon Random Walk

Photon random walk: The path and time for a photon emitted in the stellar core to reach the stellar surface. In this video I cover:
00:00 Photon Mean Free Path
06:20 Photon Random Walk
09:27 Why this Model is Wrong

Finally, I got something clear to get to know astrophysics by myself. Thanks.

Very informative, good pacing, clear pronunciation, not too heavy on the visuals but presented neatly and easy to follow!

Just found out about this series, this is honestly helping me a lot in terms of being certain this is a field I would like to pursue academically. I'm currently on my 3rd year of Engineering Physics and although I really like it, something more applied to the experimental fields of astrophysics and astronomy is where I find my true passions.
It is also being great to see how the physics knowledge I've picked up the last 2 or 3 years are being put to use while watching these videos. Can't wait to watch the rest of it

Hello, how to get the intuition to solve a problem like this? I understand everything when I look at the solution, but really would not come up with one in 100 years.

Pretty zippy. Would it be correct to say that there are no photons in starts if light is seen as a wave?

[Walter-uyor]

I would like to rephrase my question. Would it be more accurate to describe the behavior of photons not as pinballs but as dominos (where you knock over one domino and that knocks over another, etc. Thanks for your responses!!

Yeah. Simplest explaination possible. Yeah.
