@@ScienceShorts Some say that WHAT IS the electron is not a fundamental PARTICLE, and that what is the photon is a fundamental PARTICLE. CLEARLY, this is unsubstantiated nonsense. Balanced inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE is FUNDAMENTAL with regard to what is the electron AND what is the photon, AS they are BOTH inherently, CLEARLY, AND NECESSARILY structureless ON BALANCE.

Why is physics so satisfying? Every time I wonder about something with physics, there's a perfect explanation and that explanation just clicks inside my mind. Ahhhhh...

[@ileggaless8715]

my teacher literally forgot to teach me this and my qualifying exams are in a week.... And you just taught me at least a week's worth of lessons in almost 14 minutes. Your amazing. Keep it up.

[@littledemon1443]

Your a really good teacher, i actually ended watching the whole video even though the answer i wanted was already answered.

[@hamsalexus6463]

not exaggerating.... but these videos made me understand things the my teacher take 2 hrs to explain and usually takes 2 to 3 classes to finish... in just 10 to 15 mins.... these are life saviour... I love physics ....and my teacher is a good teacher and I mostly understand him but sometimes it takes my teacher ages and sometimes it flies over my head a few times I thought of quitting physics.. thank you for making my life easier.....

[@faip7064]

At 6:18, is there anything that prompts the photon to be remitted for the the electron to go down an energy level or is it a random process? Also, thanks for the video! It's clearing up a lot of small things that I couldn't quite place together.

[@sakeralabas8642]

it's pretty much spontaneous, the electron will almost immediately de-excite unless it has escaped the atom. The only thing that varies is how it de-excites, whether it goes straight back to the ground state or if it drops to an intermediate energy level first. I am not too sure what determines which path the electron takes when de-exciting though

At 6:42 How about if incoming photon have energy at 6 eV ? Do the electron at ground state excite to 5 eV ? And how about remaining energy 1 eV where it's gone? Do they transform to another form of energy ? And what the remaining 1 eV energy will be? Thank you for your clear and nice presentation.

[@iliaselalami8598]

thank you very much sir for your teaching, I have mainly 2 questions : 1- (Fluorescent tube experience) when the electrons excite the gaz's electrons and after these electrons give back their energy by emiting photons, there should be a lot of different lights absorbed by the coating! Among these lights there are a group that won't be absorbed by the coating and there are some that will be absorbed. the coating's electrons will be emitting another bunch of lights so my reseaning is there will be a lot differents lights emitting (in differents slap of time) why do we see just one of them ? is our brain tricking us? 2- why after a electron absorb an energy they prefer to release it as soon as possible? my reseaning is there a loss of enegy somehow ! what the source of these loss of energy i don't now! Thank you very much in advance

[@ww2immortal240]

Sir you are a 🐐

[@simongross3122]

Really interesting video, thank you. But it raises a few questions for me: (1) In your example with energy levels of 0, 5, 7, 8, if a photon with energy of 6eV is encountered, does it push an electron up to the 5eV state? What would happen to the remaining 1eV? (2) Since there are only a finite number of elements in existence and therefore a finite number of possible energy states, does this mean that light can only have a finite number of specific frequencies? If so, that would mean that there is not really a continuous spectrum of light. This seems wrong to me somehow.

[@zeroitedono2547]

your videos are really useful keep up the good work

[@emamakbar9206]

You make physics easy man, kudos💯⚡🔥

[@wamz2932]

Hi great video! I had a question - if the photon has too much energy, will it be just ignored?

[@faarishaque9142]

Yeah. If it doesn't have the right energy for the electron, the photon just "passes through"

[@aimeekyle4859]

Thank you so much this cleared everything up so much

[@KavehMoghaddam]

Thanks!

[@georgesmith8988]

When the photon passes through, is that what happens with glass?

[@productivity7587]

Ur videos are too good. thanks.

[@rbanerjee605]

So can an electron be in an energy level other than the ground state and if so, is this more likely to be ionised and leave the atom. Could it also move down the energy levels or is the process just very quick and assumed to start from ground level? Where does the photon go from here- after de-excitiation?

[@rafin5520]

Very Helpful it was

[@NikV01]

Thanks for the video, helped a lot.

[@Yaaaahnehhh]

Hey, cool vids and presentation. Do hot gases and cold gases have anything to do with absorption and emission spectra?

[@austinnicholson1233]

Yes they do partially, when cool gas atoms are absorbed by photons they excite and the gas atoms become hot , when they de-excite they cool down again. Correct me if im wrong i am only learning this myself for the first time

[@shanapoorni7340]

hey... thanks for all these superb videos Btw do u hv a video on cool and hot gases line spectra

[@ThriveNow123]

I understand that a photon will move up if it gains a photon but then won't it lose energy in the process of going up?? Plz explain

[@kasulavineethkumar3510]

Excellent!

[@pedroadonish]

Ok, but if an electron absorbs energy of and UV photon, why does it gives back only a visible photon?

[@vaibhavjagatiya3499]

great my guy

[@Aceman07]

Shouldn't the eV on the energy levels be negative due to the fact that we supply energy

[@ScienceShorts]

It doesn't matter, it's all relative.

[@psy5483]

Thanks

[@nickjpj2436]

Love this explanation, thank you. One question - what happens if an inbound photon has 6ev? It has enough energy to jump to the 5eV level but there would be 1eV of energy left over?

[@ScienceShorts]

Nope - has to be exact! That is, unless it's enough energy to ionise it.

[@Rehanennit]

@@ScienceShorts Wdym by enough energy to ionise it? For example if it has 10eV it can go to the 5eV level and come back to ground state? Or will it not accept 10 eV?

[@azwadaziz1548]

I have a question ….From this explanation I can conclude that a fluorescent tube should not emit white light instead only a certain colour of lights because phosphorus atoms also have discrete energy levels so those de-excitations will emit photons of certain wavelengths and so we will get light of different colours ….In reality we acutally get white light ...Why is it happening??

[@gauthamemmanuel7809]

phosphourous' emission spectrum includes a wide range of colours,so the resultant light is white. Look up the emission spectrum you'll see phosphorous doesn't have one colour more prominent than others like other elements do.

Can you please make a video about Band Theory?

[@meranism673]

Should the gas inside of the florescent light bulb be ionized gas? if so, how the coming electrons interacts with the gas molecules electrons ? If not, how the coming electrons are passing through the gas ? Since we need ionized gas (plasma) to have electrons travel through the gas ?

[@a.human.]

I owe you a lot

[@productivity7587]

what would happen if the energy of the photon was 7.5eV? Would it jump to n=3 and then 0.5eV produces another photon?

[@pedroadonish]

If the energy doesn't correspond to any gap the photon will go straight through it and nothing happens.

[@МаксимК-в2л]

Super useful!

[@akakakakakakakakakakakakakak]

Well done great explanation :)

[@sixtuskasembo3690]

General question abt the collision of electrons. So when an electron collides with another electron in the fluorescent tube, the energy of the knocked off electron from its energy level, is it kinetic energy? And if so does that mean that absorption energy (energy of photon absorbed by the electron) has a lesser magnitude than Kinetic energy? [Yes, I know absorption energy isn't a form of energy, i just used it as an adjective.]

[@noor-qq4zc]

thanks so much for the clear video, but i just want to clarify at 9:11 where we got an answer of 250nm, this isn't visible light as visible light starts at 380nm, right?

[@ScienceShorts]

Yep

[@tupac212]

Hello, just wondering, what would happen if the energy of the photon was equal to 6eV? Would the interaction not take place, enabling the photon to go straight through? Or would the electron go to the 2nd shell and not the 3rd? And, if so, what would happen to that remaining eV, would it be emitted as a photon or what? Thank you

[@menskills6368]

So does that mean it’s wrong to say that Hg is ionized in a CFL ? Instead it’s evening excited ?

[@ScienceShorts]

As it's a metal, it's a blurry line between excitation and ionisation. Talking about it in terms of the latter isn't worth it seeing as de-excitation is happening, so for *conceptual symmetry* we go with excitation.

[@ScienceShorts]

If you get that reference I will heart your comment.

[@elic307]

So what's the rule for ionization? Any photon with energy greater than the upmost shell will ionize? And what happens to the excess energy? Is it tuned into kinetic energy of the electron? And if the energy of the exciting photon is within shell boundaries but does not match exactly any of the shell energy levels, will it just pass through without any interaction?

[@ScienceShorts]

Yes.

[@炫-r9n]

What do you mean they excite electrons? The fired electrons excite the mercury electrons?

U made it so damn easy. Now i hate my teacher :3
