Understanding Light and Why it exists.

A thorough breakdown on the process' that produce light and lights existence and behavior in nature.

i’m a physics student in a specification in optics and i can barely believe i just watch this phenomenal explanation on youtube. i’m extremely thankful for that. wow.

As an astronomer and science educator, I appreciate how the graphic showing multiple types of light, broke apart the different wavelengths. Most graphics that try to illustrate the EM spectrum show one large wave of ever changing wavelength...conveying a false impression that light waves normally change wavelength as they move. Thanks.

I love these videos. They’re relatively short and start with a simple question, then go way more in depth that you would expect. I wish physics classes were taught like this

[stevesmith]

Possibly the best explanation of light I have seen on YouTube. Awesome. You just earned yourself a subscriber.

One thing that blows my mind is how different wavelengths of light can or cannot pass through different materials. We only see cristal as transparent because we see visible light, but it’s completely opaque to UV light. Wifi signal works like this too, if we saw in those frequencies we'd see through walls

Dude, I found your channel recently and I'm astonished with the quality of your content. I love that more and more creators use 3d visualizations to explain physics and other sciences in a comprehensible way, it really makes YouTube a special and useful place.
So thank you for that, you just summed up most of light sources in the universe in 12 minutes, like, bruh.

One tiny correction, integer overtones do not form octaves on a piano. They form the harmonic series. Octaves are overtones at powers of 2.

Mind Blown ! ! ! Even a person living under a rock for the past 50 years would understand, by watching this video. Thank you for enlightening me. Keep up the good work !

This is like the rabbit hole of Wikipedia, but with someone summarizing parts you don't need to dive too far into. Absolutely treasure of a video right here. We are absolutely gifted by this. Subbed +1

I never studied physics, and I had tried to understand this topic numerous times throughout the years and this one is absolutely the best material I have ever come across. Well done and thanks for the good work

5:06 I'm so glad you animated it like this. A lot of the time textbooks and professors teach that the orbitals are like "shells" or some other hard object. Sometimes they describe electron orbitals like "clouds" but this can be confusing too, because people might still imagine a STATIC, solid cloud. The electron wave orbital is more like how you showed it: a dynamic, flowing cloud or mist.

Textbooks and many professors are stuck showing you 2d and static pictures, but the key thing to remember is that the electron wave is a dynamic, flowing, moving orbital cloud. It's like the mist or fog on a cool day. It doesn't stand still, it moves around like smoke around the nucleus.

2:36 is by far the BEST explanation of photons/light I've ever heard

[giovannibarranca]

This video alone has improved my overall understanding of light and energy in a concise easy to understand manner. Thanks and I look forward to viewing more of your content.

[TheJim]

You sir are amazing! By far the best lesson on light YouTube has to offer. "And this my children" is quality content 👍

[ItsJustCarIos]

That was absolutely amazing. You got a new subscriber.

[acgt]

That was probably the best description of how light is produced that I have seen on the internet...I finally understand the basics! Excellent video thanks

[michaelcarabello]

I learned so much. Thank you. By far my top video. My jaw was open the whole time

[jericbean]

I love this explanation. I don't ever think I've seen light explained in quite this way. Thank you!

[warpedwhimsical]

Easily the most understable models and analogies on YouTube. You make such seemingly complex phenomenon seem almost obvious that way you explain things. Quality content

[Astromyxin]

Asking "why" light exists is such a human question. I mean, there's no way to answer that question with any kind of accuracy. The best you can hope to accomplish is understanding "how" light exists.
