Hi Sir, i teach Physics in Belgium. I've watched many of your lectures about Electomagnetic radiations, classical mechanics, waves and so on. There's one thing i'd like telling you : you're one of the greatest pedagogue i've ever seen and heared. Thanks for all.

Oh my god! I'm also a medical doctor.. well, not yet (I'm in my last undergraduate semester).. but I've been in love with Physics and Cosmology since I was a kid... I've been reading and watching lectures and videos about both topics since I was in junior high school. I actually think about getting on the right path, pursuing my true passion, studying Physics and Cosmology on a more professional level. Anyways, I love to see that there's a medical expert that has interest in Physics, because I think you already know that this is a really rare thing, lol. Cheers from Syria!

just a small reminder since we are reminded of Newton being English ; Niels Henrik David Bohr (Danish; 7 October 1885 - 18 November 1962) was a Danish physicist together with Werner Karl Heisenberg; 5 December 1901 - 1 February 1976) was a German theoretical physicist, The Copenhagen interpretation was first posed by physicist Niels Bohr in 1920. Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist and so on.

At work and at home, I have two flat-screen monitors that are arranged side-by-side. Now, there is typically a very small gap between the two bezels of the monitor screens where they meet in the middle. Occasionally, I would notice something strange in this small aperture between the monitors: the color pattern or visible texture of the wall behind the screens would appear to be "magnified" in the tiny gap as compared to above the screens. I often wondered what this strange apparent lensing effect was caused by - maybe some "penumbra effect", I wagered. But then I watched your lecture. Now I know what I am seeing is HUP in action!! This fascinates me to no end: That this strange "lensing" of the light reflecting off the wall through the gap in my screens is no optical illusion, but a fundamental property of nature as given by HUP!

I have been a fan of Feynman since high school but his lectures couldn’t come close to explaining what Professor Lewin does here. Simple and bulletproof!! Watching this version added another nugget of knowledge that just by confining an electron to a hydrogen atom, it moves at very high speeds and has energy.

Logan, Many teachers in the world work exclusively with powerpoint. They eve show derivations in power point. It's very very very sad. Students only benefit from lectures if the teacher derives the derivations on the black board. Power point is basically "showing" the students what's in their books. No need to go to lectures. very poor teaching!

He was among the first of the 'aliens' (those without a Cambridge degree) allowed to do research at the university. It was an interesting story how many hops he had to make and be well known to be an alien at reserved universities of UK. He is not English he is Kiwi, his parents were immigrants from UK.

If we assume that a planar wave exp(i 2π/lambda times x) multiplied by an unknowable unit-norm phase-factor (which produces the uncertainty in the measurement) is an eigenfunction, we can derive the momentum operator from de Broglie's relation.

Dear Professor, Thanks for the lovely demo of the uncertainty principle. I can do it at home, though not that neat. However using a minute pin hole, the spread of the circular smear seems much less. Is it because, now the problem is no longer one dimensional? How about the calculation? May you live forever. Best regards.
@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259
@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259 7 жыл бұрын
I can make the opening of my slit 5 microns. You cannot make your pinhole 5 microns. Thus your spread will be much much less. But even if you could make it 5 microns too little light would go through. I always use the slit because the amount of light that goes through a slit t 5 microns is about ten thousand times more than what goes through a pinhole of 5 microns. My laser beams are about 4 mm wide. Thus I win a factor 4*10^(-3)/5*10^(-6). A pinhole is the wrong way to go. Show less

Sorry to bother you again. The expression for angle θ (Lecture 34, Fall 1999) after substitution of variables, depends only on the ratio of wavelength and slit opening (Planck constant cancels out). Is it not little strange that the final calculation is independent of the value of the Planck constant? One could do the experiment with longer wavelength (won't be visible and hence less exciting!) and increased slit opening, right? Best regards

It's not strange that h does not enter into my results. I have treated here light as waves. Once you do that, you "bypass" Planck. Photons (EM radiation in general) are bizarre. To say that they are waves is incomplete, to say that they are particles is also incomplete. To say that they are both is also incomplete. The rules for EM radiation are fundamentally different from our Newtonian way of thinking. ANY picture that we paint in our heads is wrong. Its behavior is crazy but it's the way the world ticks"

Is it really a good idea to draw parallel between quantization of energy level of electron and quantization of height to which a tennis ball will jump? The other thing that I wanted to ask is what if we keep on decreasing the size of the triangle so that the ball has no place to move. seems like if we bring particle at rest it will have define position as well as defined momentum, i.e. zero. Also will you tell me about momentum of light photon?

Guru ( my head keeps on your feet ) 1) Can it assume as diffraction because when light is passing through narrow slit this can bend through two edges of slit ? 2)can we predict the changing of momentum of laser light keeping a screen on it. (Like zinc sulphate of rutherford experiment).in that case light can be able to see like billarad ball in triangle.

@@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259 As basically a mathematical "trick" to explain why the Rayleigh-Jeans predictions suffered from the "ultraviolet catastrophe". In an analysis of black body radiation, he realised that there would be an infinite number of energy levels (standing waves, in effect) and that they should all have an equal share of energy (this is a huge simplification!). This meant that the higher frequencies would dominate the energy spectrum which was simply not what was observed. He introduced the idea of quantisation to "limit" the number of allowed frequencies, and it suddenly produced what was recognised as the characteristic spectrum of Black Body Radiation. The next problem was to ascertain what that quantity would look like, in terms of value. Experiments then led to the discovery of the size of what is now called Planck's Constant. I seem to have read that Planck himself was somewhat skeptical, at least initially, that this was anything but a quirk of mathematics, but it soon became part of the bedrock of QM.

OMG! This is THE FINEST lecture on QM I have ever listened to or viewed. Prof Lewin is Zeus! Having tried to get my head around QM for many years - and failed miserably - this lecture has blown away much of the fog that obscured it for me. As a student in the "University of KZbin", why has it taken so long for me to find your lecture(s)? Keep up the good work Walt - as Bob Newhart would have called you. Maybe you can explain why the Uncertainty Principle did not prevent the use of tobacco when introduced to Europe by Sir Walter Raleigh! Question: would you be able to explain in conceptual terms why QM & GR breaks down at the singularity that existed at the moment of the Big Bang? Many thanks for a GREAT lecture!

>>> Question: would you be able to explain in conceptual terms why QM & GR breaks down at the singularity that existed at the moment of the Big Bang? Many thanks for a GREAT lecture!>>> There is not yet a theory on quantum gravity. String theory my be our best bet (in the future).

Yep the spectrum colors , quantum leap is like violin or guitar music were notes are singular and do not grow by keeping the finger attached , each state is singular and do not overlap or gets each wave a distinct note ,never as shades of color

The Uncertainty Principle shouldn't be independent of De Broglie's relation of momentum to wavelength. We use wavelengths to measure distances. Whenever we measure distances, we quantize an unknown distance with our measuring apparatus which communicates its quantized result to us as a rational number times 1 + or - i × delta. A distance along x axis is measured as x - i dx or x + i dx where i is √-1.

sir, as you say the orbital concept is a misconception. . however the path of an orbital body will appear as a wave over time . I only mention this to imply the effect of eclipse on the appearance of the tracked path could be seen as pulses of a waves or packet or quanta ...
