We might not have unified electrodynamics until 1865, but we've known light was a wave since the original double-slit experiment in 1801. Let's talk about diffraction and wave interference.

Ocean waves with longer periods carry more energy and travel faster. In contrast, light maintains a constant speed; the shorter the period, the more energy it exhibits during collapse. Therefore, it cannot be described as a wave, but an alternative term may be utilized.

Steak Electron refers to a small wave in the electron field or a particle (particles are localized waves in the field). Fields are basically plains of existence for waves. The waves are energy. Fields do have their own energy called vacuum energy or zero-point energy. This energy is always there and cannot be taken away. If you try to, the field will make a lower vacuum energy. The vacuum energy is the baseline energy. There will be a little uncertainty in the energy (and everything else) in the field. Just a question but do the dump trucks move with the wave or do the dump trucks just go up and down? Btw I get that the field is waving and causing the action.

Johnny Doeboy I get that you have a large emphasize on electrons aren’t hard balls but rather deformations of the electron field. You don’t need to call me out for being a random guy. We are all random guys learning about great discoveries together. Not everybody is right. And most likely our ideas will be seen as basic and outdated like the four giants. The four giants of electricity and magnetism and such were great at manipulating the microscopic world to create amazing inventions but their ideas are only stepping stones to the achievements we have now and we will be stepping stones for the next generation.

I'll make a compliment that I should've made a long time ago. I appreciate quite a lot your lessons, they're among the best I've seen in my life. The most impressive part of all this is that it's still common among the population to think that there isn't much skill involved in helping others, explaining something, teaching someone. And many think that expertise on the subject is the only skill needed to teach well, ignoring the deep needs of empathy skills, communication and linguistic flexibility, and many others. It's because of this common misconceptions that STEM teachers around federal universities here can be so bad at teaching sometimes. No matter how ingenious and great they are at research, they can still be dickheads with students. And consciously or unconsciously, you've proven to know all this and much more than me about teaching strategies and skills. Your empathetic skills and considerations towards the viewers interests and doubts are strong, and one of your best assets. The best part of this is that you also seem to go pretty deep on your knowledge of physics, enough for you go beyond the average teaching youtuber, and yet, you maintain your ability to teach properly that complex knowledge to your viewers, showing great skills to simplify and make concise extremely difficult concepts, enough for an interested student like me to understand. Thanks Nick, keep being great.

I've watched probably 30 videos on the double slit experiment, and none of them, NOT ONE, explained how photons are just waves and how the field is one entity and that is why it can interfere with itself or that superposition and interference are linked. Instead they all seem to give into some sort of mysticism and woo factor. You rock dude.

Steve Dixon If one puts an Avalanche PhotoDiode in a place where there’s an EM field, occasionally there will be an "avalanche" of current: the device was designed to do that occasionally, so it does it occasionally. If you put the APD in a different place, you get more or fewer avalanche events, but what causes that? Was it because there are photons or was it because the APD was designed to do that? If you look at the electrical signal much more closely, it’s not really an absolutely sudden event on the signal line: it ramps up very fast, but it’s not instantaneous. All modern experimental apparatus is the same: signal lines into computers, attached to exotic materials that are driven by exotic electronics. Quantum theory doesn’t necessarily talk about "collapse" during measurement, it can also be taken to describe and predict the statistics one will see of everything that happens on a signal line, and jumps are only the first level of detail about what the signal level does picosecond by picosecond. Sorry: you asked a good question and I’ve given you my very idiosyncratic answer (and compressed enough, as well, that it’s likely incomprehensible.)
@taragnor
@taragnor 5 жыл бұрын
Yeah he left that bit out of the explanation of the double-slit, which is honestly one of the main points of the experiment, and opened the door to the whole field of quantum physics. Unless we figured out quantum physics over the last year or so, I always thought the door was still open as far as what light is, depending on what interpretation you used. In most, it seems to be that light is both. The most-accepted Copenhagen interpretation states that light is essentially a wave that becomes a particle. The pilot wave theory believes that light is essentially a particle that is pushed by a wave, so in effect, it's both. That being stated, we still haven't figured out which quantum theory is the correct one, so it's still largely up in the air. It is clear it exhibits behavior of both though.

Looking forward to the next video sinse my professors insist that there is a wave particle duality which you have covered before. Is it posible to describe radiation pressure which is calculated in statisical mechanics in terms of waves? Or is it because pressure, in general like temperature, only makes sense as a statistical property? Keep up the great work! The attention to detail is superb! Edited to fix gammatical error that I spotted.

Hello, I'm a telecommunications Engineering student so basically anything wave related is what I know. I understand how electromagnetic field work and all. But the question I keep asking that I never get an answer for is: what is the electromagnetic field exactly? I know all the math and how it works but what is it EXACTLY? Like physically? What is the nature of the field that can be disturbed by a photon? Those arrow we represent coming out or in a charged particle, what do they represent physically? I got into some quantum mechanics stuff to help me understand but nope, It made it complicated even more.

You ask a difficult question. What is the electromagnetic field exactly? It’s difficult to answer questions about something that is considered a fundamental fact of the universe. First, a field is just a name we use for the collection of all points in space that we can associate some number to, like temperature or pressure or electric push/pull, usually more than one number and sometimes with a direction. It’s an abstract mathematical entity. The electromagnetic field has numbers like energy, momentum (with a direction), amplitude, wavelength, and frequency. This field can be viewed as a combination of a stronger electric field and a weaker magnetic field that both have magnitudes and directions of influence (the arrows). Oscillating charges produce variations in the electric and magnetic fields that may be regarded as waves, the aforementioned numbers change from moment to moment and place to place in a self-replicating fashion influenced by its neighbors. At a quantum level, the numbers exist only in a superposition and do not change (or don’t have values at all), they have probabilities that change instead. Energy is quantized as well. What exactly underlies a quantum field if anything, such that it can have probabilities at each point in space, isn’t clear. I think it is just about geometric relationships between things, or places where things could be. So a field just isn’t physical. It’s a background description of how interactions can play out. Sorry that’s the best I can do. Edit: The electromagnetic field isn’t caused by a photon. The field is an independent thing. A photon is just a persistent wave-like disturbance in some part of the field.

I've finally found some time to translate this video into Hebrew. In my opinion, the double-slit experiment is one of the most intriguing & fascinating science experiments ever. I've done it myself few times & it's mind-boggling! This experiment is not just about waves or photons, but about our very own human fallibility of grasping intellectually such phenomenon in nature. So much so, that there are still scientists who try to disprove the duality of particles(Including photons). I could have lectured for hours - just on this experiment. Great video & cheers! Keep up the good work! You and your twin-dimensional body ^_^

"the same interference pattern emerges" ummmmm what?? you REALLY should have mentioned that still, as soon as we have a detector on the slits to see where the photon passes, the pattern changes to conforming a particle nature. Without that, you make it sound confusing IMO. Otherwise: a FANTASTIC explanation and visualization. i just had a moment where i felt a little bit smarter than before.
