Күн бұрын

Talk given by Prof. Lewin almost every year between 1996 and 2004 during the summer vacation for Science Teachers. This recording is from 1997. He discussed how to uncover the beauty of physics to students. He discusses the perception of seeing color and showed colors by using only black and white slides (the famous Edwin Land demo). He also covered (and demonstrated) Rayleigh Scattering which makes the sky blue and sunsets red. By holding cigaret smoke in his lungs he demonstrated why clouds are white.He uncovers the Physics of Rainbows and creates a rainbow during his lectures and he demonstrates (as he earlier arrived) that the rainbows are nearly 100% linearly polarized.

If they handed out Oscars for physics lectures, he’d win another one for that lecture. Really, a phenomenal presentation in every way. He’d probably win a technical achievement award too for that magic chalk.

In high school I was a very bad student, I had to take night school to graduate, for some reason I did not find academic knowledge or school interesting or amusing at that time .... years have past for me and I found out the reason of my poor academic performance at that time, the school method of teaching lacked creativity to reach and awake my interest towards it. I discovered your videos at the beginning of this year and got hooked up immediately with them ... guess what ? I started college this fall in Aerospace engineering because I find your teachings easy to understand and learn every lecture in your videos got very clear to me and easy to understand, I've watched them all. Thank you for posting your lectures, for people like me you have helped me bring back my confidence in learning and achieving my goals. As an advice for those kids who had a bad academic performance and lack confidence in continuing studying ... DON'T GIVE UP, is never too late to restart and continue your goals.

Mr. Lewin, I've known about your lectures and enjoyed them since I was about 10, now that I'm in highschool and have an understanding of algebra and such, I've been able to begin going through your lectures and actually appreciating the impeccable fluidity your lectures have and how clear you are able to demonstrate the topics of 8.01-8.03.... It really is amazing. I'm on track to go to MIT or similar, all honors or AP classes, but it's almost not worth it with you gone... I lament that I can't be a student of your's but you have my respect and my thanks.

You see lots of rainbows in wet countries as here in Ireland. They emerge usually after the rain stops: loose water molecules in air create rainbows with the rays of sun emitting colours. Sometimes, you see double rainbows. Triple rainbows are extremely rare. Whenever I see rainbows, I know they always point in the exact opposite directions of the sun.

Professor, I first found out about you when I watched a video on KZfaq years ago called "Professor Beats Student". I have since watched nearly all of your lectures that have been made public and thoroughly enjoy how you engage your students and your philosophy of teaching. You are an inspiration to me, a fellow educator, and you truly make physics fun and enthralling for everyone. As a Christian, I see everything as the manifestation of the glory of God in His creation - and I'm aware that you're an atheist and do not perceive it like I do. However, the way that you convey these topics, makes me more in awe of what God has done. So thank you, Professor.

No greens, for example. thank you once more for these beautiful and heart, or should I say brain, comforting lectures.

I had to take 8.03 as a sophomore in 1973. Prof. Lewin lectured, and his lectures were filled with formulas and I could barely keep up taking notes and always at the end there was a demonstration that brought the formulas to life. Not just a great, engaging lecturer, but a brilliant lecturer.

Thank you. Truly. If I was forced to try to participate in the slave making "education" system to get this and not the comfort of my own home with zero pressures for free I would have missed out beyond what I care to even imagine. I truly see the world differently now and my love for science, inventing, teaching, and free independent learning has exploded.

Thank you for your kind words. All science teachers were given a DVD of my lecture for many years. I gave this lecture (or something very similar) every summer for at least 5 years (probably more).

It is worth noting that logs to any base represent exponential growth. (The base 'e' simply relates to the property that d/dx (e^x) = e^x.)

I saw the colours on the spinning wheel in reverse. On the inside at first, outside when he reversed the motor.

Interesting to see in 48:45 that in the *primary rainbow* the red bow is in the outside and the blue bow is in the inside, but in the *secondary rainbow* blue is in the outside and red is in the inside. This is like what Walter explained earlier in 41:40

It is exactly what he describes. He doesn’t mention the secondary bow at 41:40.

At 45 minutes you show an ad of a Rainbow Maker that my husband Norman Hughes created. The ad is an awful copy. The plastic rainbow maker does indeed create a DOUBLE RAINBOW that shines on a wall when the sun shines through the plastic. We sold them via mail order for about 10 years. They were slowly injection molded using only one brand of plastic that would be completely clear with no distortion. Norman was an Academy Award winning mechanical design engineer. Camera design, CO2 lasers, robotics, infrared spectrometry were some of his specialties. He passed away in 2012

well I was born in czech republic and eversince I started to go to kinder garden , my teacher told me, when nI asked her how the rainbow comes into existence, she told me that when it rains but there are little of no clouds, the sun is shining on the water drops and the light then bounces of the drop´s surface and divides into different colours and she told me that this effect is called light refraction and the colours are called colour spectrum.. I remember it very clearly cuz my mother (also a teacher in the same kinder garden ) had to teach me and explain about 50 more things when we came home.. I wanted to know.. I was 5 years old.. so this is no suprise to me well apart from the value of all those angles

14:28 he begins by spinning clockwise, so if you focus on the inner ring, (red) you'd see the long black rest, then stripes, then the uninterrupted white. when he spins it counter clockwise it's the outer ring that follows this pattern.

It's actually easily learnable. The near right angle to the surface and soft-to-firm pressure applied is the key.

Before you decide to buy a book from me *I strongly suggest you get a free copy using the pdf file.* fiisikis.weebly.com/uploads/5/4/9/3/54939617/for_the_love_of_physics.pdf You should also consider to buy my book at amazon in your country. *I have been told that in India you can get my book from Amazon and Flipkart for $4.50* These books do not contain the 15 colored photo index (that's why they are so cheap); the pdf file does not include that either. If you can afford it, of course, I am willing to send you a signed copy of my book with *a special note for you + a signed picture of me, which will also have your name on it,* but the price is high as I pay 30% tax here in the US of your payment. Postage for me is also high (e.g., India $35). Ofcoz the book that I send you contains the photo index. Your total costs for 1 paperback copy: US $40; Europe, South America, Brazil, Canada, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh Tanzania & India $65; Middle East & Asia: Japan, Philippines, China, Thailand & Australia $80. I make zero money on these sales, I sell them for what they cost me. You should transfer the money to my PayPal account (see below). *Since we are friends, please mark "family and friends", PayPal will then not charge me a 5% fee* and please let me also know in PayPal your name and complete address and *which name I should use for my note in your book and on my picture.* *For those of you who only want a signed copy of the picture of me, swinging from the pendulum,* with your name on it as well, it will cost you *$10 for 1 copy* (that includes postage). It's the same price for all countries. *You should send me on PayPal your complete address and the name you want me to write on the picture.* Please transfer the $12 to *my PayPal account which is* lewin-physics@physics.comcastbiz.net. *Keep in mind that you must first enter PayPal and then my account.*
