How To Cancel Light

I show you how to cancel light using a think film. I talk about hard and soft boundaries with wave reflections.

Cancel jokes aside, this is so cool. Never heard an explanation of why soap film looks colorful that was so intuitive before now.

Never continues the experiment.

"How To Cancel Light"

Twitter User: My years of training have prepared me for this

How to cancel light:
Step 1 - find a really old controversial Twitter post by light
Step 2 - retweet
Step 3 - Cancel light

Light who travels 8 minutes from the sun to earth just to be cancelled:

Action Lab: Knows some cool facts, produces something of value, communicates it to us through understandable videos.
People commenting about twitter: The exact opposite.

Twitter users after seeing this: finally, worthy opponent!

Sounds like a Twitter physics experiment

Thank you for this. I'm currently learning 'interference by division of amplitude' and this really helps.

I think that LIGO (the gravity detector) works this way... it separates a laser beam into two long structures at right angles, then recombines them and expects complete light cancellation, but when space grows in one direction and not the other, the cancellation pattern changes and some non-cancelled light is seen.

action lab: demonstrate the light wave
me: damn that DNA strands look so cool

Ah yez, now we are gonna cancel light too. Twitter moment.

This is amazing... As a kid I was aware of this phenomenon (and knew that when the layer gets colorless it will pop every moment), but now I know the physics behind it ^^

There is a YouTube video I once saw. It told me that "destructive" waves don't exists. Due to the conversation of energy - electromagnetic waves don't have "destructive" interference. The energy just goes somewhere else. Like it gets reflected or shifted.

Anti reflective coatings increase the transmission for example.

Simple experiment yet so beautiful with your explanation this is how they never teach physics .You are the best 🥺❤

[hoteny]

Your channel is the only channel i have ever encountered that has long videos but the content of the video is also very rich and not clickbaity long videos. If i would have seen a 10:01 minute video of yours, I would have wondered what you have taught that long instead. Thank you for that.

A visual representation what audio engineers do on your favorite songs you listen to everyday.

[chieckenman]

Even light itself, the fastest of all, cannot escape cancelling

[anonymousbullet]

0:10 thanks mate. I thought I had a strand of hair on bottom right of my screen 👏

[zenmonke]

this channel keeps showing things in a very clear way, I never heard before, although I watch a lot of similar content.
Great job!
