Hi @devinbae9914, thank you for your interest and positive feedback! I'm currently working on a new playlist featuring more advanced quantum mechanics problems, and I'm thrilled to see the interest it's generating. I plan to add a video soon that delves into the mathematics of the Pauli exclusion principle. Regarding your question about how the Schrödinger equation applies to bonding between different atoms, that's an excellent topic! While my PhD in condensed matter physics focused on the quantum mechanics of bulk materials rather than molecules, I'm keen to explore this area further and provide a comprehensive explanation. In the meantime, I also plan to create content on many-electron systems, such as metals, which might offer some relevant insights. Thank you for your suggestion, and please stay tuned for upcoming videos. I'll also be putting up polls on my site to gather input on what topics viewers are most interested in. Best regards, Jacob

Great video!! And I suppose the 4s orbital is closer to the nucleus than the 3d orbital because the shielding effect decreases in order of: s > p > d > f ... etc Which shows that the s orbital is more spread out in the atom compared to the surface area of density of the d, which makes sense if we see the diagrams. Hence This is why the 4s orbitals is closer to nucleus.. These electrons can push against each other and create the flower orbitals as n increases.. which makes sense The difference in the energies is why the electrons fill 4s first. And this effect can be seen clearly in the periodic table between 5th and 6th periods from Zirconium(Zr) and Hafnium(Hf) to Cadmium(Cd) and Mercury(Hg) all having similar sizes due to all the Lanthanides getting their f orbital filled, making the shielding effect go down resulting in decreasing of atomic radius, this is called as Lanthanides contraction which you might know it before.. **If I'm right, then Thank you Sir Hudis, you can keep your money in the drawer..😅😂** By the wayy, I really loveee the jokes created by you in this video!! I would love to learn quantum mechanics from a Professor who is also a comedian 😂.. Also the jokes by AI is fun! This whole lecture was fun.. And by the wayy, I think you need to square the wavefunctions on the m sub l values of those orbitals at 12:46 at the bottom right, means, you need to replace the rainbow donuts and flowers and then call them orbitals.. I think that at m = 0, the solutions are already real, but for other orbitals, it needs to be squared in order to make them real, Some images can be misleading.. Hence, here are some links that have increadible beauty of atomic orbitals and more!! 😄❤️✨️: commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Spherical_harmonics commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sph_harm_table_real_bumpy.gif commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Complex_Spherical_Harmonics_Figure_Table_Complex_Radial_Magnitude.gif commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Real_Spherical_Harmonics_Figure_Table_Complex_Radial_Magnitude.gif And don't forget this amazing one!: www.falstad.com/mathphysics.html the values will be helpful while the orbitals interact with other orbitals in molecules (Molecular Orbital theory) and intuition for passionate lovers like me and etc. Because real life doesn't have imaginary orbitals. Again! I understand this might be too much to cover at once, it's very hard to wrap our heads around the complex world as well! But it's not impossible, and it all comes with practice.. I know you can cover it if you have free time.. But you can consider it for the people who read the comments. Sorry for typing alot though, I usually type this much only for science.. Hope It hasn't annoyed you.😅😅 I wish I can reduce it.. There's alot of learning in this subject.. and I am all here for it!

Dear @physics_enthusiast_Soorya, Thank you so much for your support and thoughtful comments! I appreciate your insights and the great links you've shared. The way I was thinking about it is: S Orbitals (l=0): These are elliptical because they have no angular nodes. The electron's kinetic energy in S orbitals is purely radial, which gives them an elliptical shape. Velocity is related to wavelength, so if the wavelength is in the radial direction, there is kinetic energy in the radial direction, making the orbit elliptical. If it is elliptical, it spends some time very close to the nucleus. P and D Orbitals (l=1 and l=2): These orbitals have angular nodes, introducing angular kinetic energy components. In these orbitals, the angular kinetic energy is greater, making them more circular in nature compared to S orbitals, which have predominantly radial kinetic energy. Quantum mechanics is incredibly confusing, even after years of study (I have studied it for many years). I've never actually seen an atomic orbital directly, and no one else has either, though various experimental techniques provide some insights. This is what makes quantum mechanics so challenging. In classical mechanics, we can perform experiments and observe results directly. With atomic experiments, however, the data still require imagination and interpretation to truly understand what’s happening with the electrons. Your analysis is impressive, and maybe you will be the scientist to ultimately figure it all out for the rest of us. As you know, people like Feynman, Tony Leggett (Nobel laureates), and Sean Carroll say it's not possible to really understand. I'm excited to share that I am launching a new playlist focused on solving advanced quantum mechanics problems. These will include real problems with full solutions, aiming to provide a deeper understanding of the subject. I believe this is one of the best ways to learn quantum mechanics, and I hope you find it helpful. Thank you again for your support. If you know anyone who enjoys physics, please recommend my channel to them! Kind regards, Jacob

Wait.. electrons have kinetic energy in the s orbital? (Or any orbital) Like I understand they have Overtones, and the s,p,d,f has an increasing in overtone. We represent these as sinusoidal waves. But I thought s orbital was a spherical probability density, like we can only see the electron when we observe it at some point in the sphere.. But how can the electron have kinetic energy in the s orbital, if the whole orbital is a probability density? (Lets take Hydrogen atom) Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle says that we can't know the position and momentum at same time Yes sir, I truly enjoy all your videos, and yes, I'll surely tell anyone whose intrested about quantum mechanics about your channel (I currently don't have any. But I'll try)

@@physics_enthusiast_Soorya In quantum mechanics, the wavelength of a particle is directly related to its velocity through the de Broglie relation, which states that a particle's wavelength is inversely proportional to its momentum. This implies that an atomic orbital, which represents the probability distribution of where an electron might be found, also implies some underlying velocity for the electron. Electrons in orbitals with higher angular momentum quantum numbers have greater angular momentum compared to those in orbitals with zero angular momentum. The Einstein-de Haas effect experimentally demonstrates the relationship between angular momentum and magnetic moment, supporting this concept. When an electron's position is measured, the wavefunction collapses to a specific location within the orbital, but it will never be found in regions where the wavefunction is zero. The electron, upon measurement, will also exhibit a definite velocity. An orbital with a shorter wavelength corresponds to an electron with higher momentum and, consequently, higher velocity. This concept ties into the wave-particle duality of electrons, a fundamental yet counterintuitive aspect of quantum mechanics that Richard Feynman famously noted as being difficult to fully grasp. That is the best I can do. I am sure someone else can make this more clear and I hope they see this post and help me out.

Dear Håkon Berg, Thank you for watching my video and for your comment. Did you know that Schrödinger was born in Vienna, Austria? And guess what else comes from Vienna? That’s right, Vienna sausages! Well, sort of. Vienna sausages are not actually from Vienna, Austria. Despite their name, they originated in Germany and are more commonly associated with American cuisine. These little snacks are like fuel for the body, much like oil is for I’m not trying to be insensitive here, but Texas does have a bit of an obesity problem. I assume they eat a lot of sausages down there, and probably Vienna sausages too. So, based on my flawless logic, it’s clear that Vienna and Texas are connected. In fact, I think we should start calling Vienna the “Texas of Europe” because of this deep culinary and cultural connection I’ve discovered. Therefore I have proven that Schrodinger is from Texas (in Europe). Cheers, Jacob

Hello @Kellywildon2881! Thank you for watching and commenting on my video! I have been serious about making science videos for roughly the past two months (since May 2024) and I have not gotten many comments on any on any of my videos. Thanks for your comment! Now to address your question. It is true that other atoms, besides helium, have isotopes where one is a fermion and another is a boson. This makes it tempting to think that dilution refrigeration might work with these other elements. In fact, it might work to some extent, but it couldn't achieve temperatures much lower than the liquid phase of the cooling element. For instance, liquid nitrogen cools at around 77K . If you used a mixture of nitrogen isotopes, where one was a fermion and the other a boson (assuming they are sufficiently abundant on Earth), the dilution would only be able to remove energy near the liquid phase boundary. This means it could only cool to a temperature near 77K or slightly lower. All scientific refrigerators use helium for this reason. Therefore, I am relatively sure that other elements would not achieve lower temperatures, or else they would be used. Perhaps you are considering another aspect of the process? Are you a physics student or a scientist? Thanks again for your question! Please let me know if you want further clarification.

During graduate school, I took about 10 semester classes in Quantum Mechanics and related subjects, such as condensed matter physics, quantum field theory, and quantum statistical mechanics. I also served as a QM TA for five years. Despite solving many problems, I found that developing a true physical intuition for QM is challenging compared to more intuitive subjects like classical mechanics. To address this, I turned my extensive notes from teaching QM into a lecture series aimed at making the necessary mathematical material more accessible through pictures, examples, and effective teaching methodologies. In QM, math and physics are deeply intertwined, making it crucial to approach the subject with a clear and integrated perspective. As I continue this series, I plan to solve and upload various QM problems to demonstrate effective problem-solving techniques. This hands-on approach is essential for mastering the subject.

Thank you for your comment and for watching my videos. I’m excited to share that I’ll be releasing many quantum mechanics videos over the next few months, and I hope you find them helpful. I’ve read several books on quantum mechanics, and many of them share a similar approach. Here are my thoughts on a few of them: Modern Quantum Mechanics by J.J. Sakurai: I’ve read every page of this book. While it covers all the necessary material, I’m not entirely satisfied with its explanations and approach. Principles of Quantum Mechanics by R. Shankar: This book, in my opinion, is better than Sakurai’s. It offers clearer explanations and a more approachable style. Introduction to Quantum Mechanics by David J. Griffiths: This book contains excellent problems, though I feel the physics explanations could be improved. A Modern Approach to Quantum Mechanics by John S. Townsend: I was a TA for a class using this book. It’s better than Griffiths and takes inspiration from the Feynman Lectures on Quantum Mechanics, Volume III. The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Volume III: I’ve read every page of this volume. Feynman’s writing is captivating, but his lectures are best used as a supplement alongside other resources. Quantum Physics of Atoms, Molecules, Solids, Nuclei, and Particles by Robert Eisberg and Robert Resnick: This book offers the best explanation of the physics by far, making it my top recommendation for understanding quantum mechanics. To truly learn quantum mechanics, solving problems is crucial. Regardless of which book you read, you need to work through many problems, understand the solutions, and think deeply about their implications. All the books I mentioned contain great problems. Griffiths, in particular, has many excellent ones, and there are dedicated books of quantum mechanics problems and solutions that can be beneficial. Additionally, there are numerous online resources, including KZfaq, that might offer better explanations of the physics than some books do. Utilizing a combination of these resources will give you a more comprehensive understanding of quantum mechanics. Happy studying, and I hope my videos can aid you in your learning journey!

Around 4:20 (!) you say that those 3 matrices J1, J2, and J3 are a basis for any real 3x3 skew-symmetric matrix. But all 3 of those matrices have all zeros along the diagonal. So, how can any linear combination of J1, J2, J3 ever add up to be a skew-symmetric matrix with non-zero values along the diagonal? (you said earlier that such matrices exist, just with the restriction that the diagonal numbers have to add to zero)

The first argument given for the impact of the rain on the kinetic energy of the cart isn't really relevant to the problem. Statement 1 is true regardless of whether the car is moving or not, its true that kinetic energy is being converted into potential energy but the kinetic energy is from the rain itself not the cart. Also if we consider a moving cart being filled with hail or snow for instance, all answers to the problem remain the same but no change in gravitation potential happens for any hail/snow once it settles in the cart.

My first job in high school was in a machine shop, every machinist knows this, there are a lot of assemblies that require parts to be heated or cooled prior to assembly to allow an interference fit. The question I always follow up with is if you drill a hole in a steel plate and heat it, does the hole get larger or smaller? If there's a temperature difference involved it will get smaller, as it pushes into the hole, away from the unexpanded metal.

When I was thinking about the solution, I remembered molecular physics. The temperature is a measure of the speed of the molecules. When the speed is big, the distance between then increase (i think because of the collision may be?). As metals have a crystal structure, all the constraints in the inner circle of the structure will stretch increasing the length of the circumference => the D of the hole will increase.

I had this in high school, when some of my classmates didn't understand it completely i came with my own explanation which i'm still pretty proud of: If you take a square of 3x3 and take out the middle square, you end up with a square ring. If you were to scale the 8 other squares, assuming the corners and sides of the squares stay connected, the middle empty square should scale along. If you were to divide the ring up into infinitely small squares, it behaves the same.

There is a better answer. Take a point on the inner circumference. In an expansion each point (molecule, what have you) sees all others moving away from it. However the directions away from a point on the circumference and still in the metal all point outwards from the center of the circle. Meaning the radius of the hole gets bigger as the washer expands.

It never occurred to me to think about this, I always thought it's obvious that it gets bigger. Expansion is linear in all direction. If I had to explain it, I would say: just think about what would happen to a wire loop, or even simpler, what happens to a wire loop that was bent into the shape of a square. it is obvious that all sides get longer.

This is an interesting question. I had fun thinking it over, so I think it's a great question to challenge understanding. However, after some thought I think it's quite a confusing one which hides some subtleties around (hidden) assumptions. In particular, I think the answer that energy is lost via heat and to gravitational potential is at best hand wavy, but at worst wrong. The way I approached reconciling this is to consider a simpler problem where I can remove certain variables. Let’s consider an *empty* train cart moving along at some initial velocity. We’ll assume that the interior of the cart is frictionless. We then gently place a marble inside the cart and release it. We can think of the marble like a drop of water, but by placing it on in the cart we can remove any concerns about gravitational potential. Since the cart’s interior is frictionless, the marble will stay still (w.r.t. to a stationary outside observer). The marble will eventually hit the back of the cart. Doing a simple elastic collision calculation, you can see that the marble will gain velocity, the cart will lose velocity and the marble will start moving in the direction of the cart (but slightly faster). At this stage we have conserved both momentum and energy. When the marble hits the other side of the cart, the same calculation shows that the marble stops and the cart goes back to its initial velocity. This behaviour will continue indefinitely, i.e. the cart’s speed will oscillate. This means that to the outside observer, the average speed of both the cart and the marble has gone down. However, we have avoided the energy loss problem. Now, going back to the original problem, how can we scale this? We can imagine that the rain is like dropping in many marbles into the cart. If we drop in many marbles then we would have a complex and rapid interchange of momentum between each marble (rain drop) and the cart. This would mean that, without additional assumptions about how the individual particles interact, the cart’s velocity would still vary. Furthermore, the particles would move around a lot inside the car. There would however be no energy loss. In reality, what I think this would mean is that the water in the cart would slosh back and forth (if you average out all the collisions across many particles). The cart’s speed would then oscillate based on this sloshing. I think this is a much more accurate answer. Of course, in the real world we would actually lose energy, but that's beyond the scope of our model. IMO the problems with chalking this just down to heat and potential energy are as follows. Generally speaking, energy loss implies hidden assumptions about interactions and physics which are beyond the scope of our model. For example, let’s consider the heat argument. Heat is just a measure of the average kinetic energy of molecules in a substance. The motion is effectively random, i.e. heat displays no preference of direction in which the particles move. This means there’s no net movement of the liquid due to heat. Thus we’re cheating by saying there’s heat loss as our model says nothing about how the physics of transferring heat energy. In reality this would happen, e.g. via convection to the air. In fact, since we claimed momentum was conserved, we have actually ruled out convection in our model. Radiation is also out of scope of our model. Discussing heat is way more complex than just friction, and we’ve assumed no friction. I could also make a similar critique of the gravitation potential argument, but this is already a long response :)

Hello, thank you for your long and thoughtful comment. I read what you wrote and it was well thought out and very interesting. Rather than respond to everything you said, as it is subtle and with physics there are simple answers and also correct, less simple answers to the same problem, I will question your comment that said after the marble collides with the side of the cart it will be going in the same direction as the cart, only slightly faster. In this scenario, when the marble collides with the back of the cart, it begins moving forward because the cart transfers some of its momentum to the marble. The specifics of an elastic collision dictate that if one object is much lighter (like the marble), it will rebound off the heavier object (the cart) at a speed that is twice the relative speed at which they met. Here, "relative speed" refers to how fast the cart is moving compared to the stationary marble when they first make contact. Therefore, after the collision, the marble moves forward at a speed that is twice the cart's initial speed relative to the inside of the cart. For an outside observer, this means the marble's speed will be approximately equal to the cart's initial speed, not faster. The cart, meanwhile, will slow down slightly because it has given some of its momentum to the marble.

@@acephysics123 if the mass if the marble is small compared to that of the cart then it'll move at approx 2x the speed of the cart but in the reference frame of the observer not the cart. One interesting thing is when the mass of the marble and the cart are the same. In that case, after each collision, exactly one is moving relative to an observer. This means that the cart "looks" like it's moving at (on average) half its original speed, but the complexities of the system inside capture how energy is conserved.

Metals expand when heated, which can enlarge the hole of a washer but will heating loosen a tight bolt?. If both the nut (or washer) and the bolt expand at similar rates, particularly if they're made of the same material, the practical benefit might be minimal. It might work when there's a noticeable difference in the expansion rates or thermal conductivity between the two interacting metals. Has your dad used heat to loosen a tight fit?
@gblargg
@gblargg 3 ай бұрын
The logic that it would get smaller is that the washer expanding to be wider would might push the center in if the outside didn't expand enough. But to me the easiest logic is that if the metal is expanding, the inside is expanding, therefore the circumference of the inner circle is increasing. Greater circumference, bigger circle.

There is a subtle point here: are we defining the momentum of the cart to include the water that is inside? If so, then momentum is conserved and the cart has the same momentum before and after the rain is inside. If not, then the cart will impose momentum onto the rain water and will have a different momentum such that the momentum of the whole system is conserved (horizontally). Either way, the velocity of the cart will decrease, the cart has to apply a force onto the water to accelerate the water up to the speed of the cart, and so there will be an equal and opposite force applied by the water which slows the cart down (this is also equivalent to conservation of momentum of the whole system). The kinetic energy of the cart must also decrease, the cart is doing work on the water, so the water must also do work on the cart to slow it down. But here is another subtlety, if we are considering the water inside the cart, and the cart to be one system, then the kinetic energy of the water car system cannot change, as nothing is doing work on the water cart system.

Thank you for your insightful comment, Reefu! You’ve nailed the concept with your explanation. Indeed, the way the momentum is defined - whether including the water inside the cart or not - fundamentally alters our interpretation but not the conservation law itself. Your explanation aligns perfectly with how I think about this problem realizing that action-reaction forces are the intuitive way to understand it. It's that intuitive grasp that can really elevate our comprehension of physics. Are you currently studying physics at the college or graduate level? I'm asking because I’m about to release a series of lectures on quantum mechanics on this channel, designed to be clear and intuitive. Given your grasp of mechanics, you might find them interesting. Over the next few weeks, I'll post about nine of these lectures, and I’m aiming to make them as engaging and insightful as possible. Thanks again for such a great comment!
