Wave Nature of Light

How does light behave when it goes through a double slit?

[@jimmy5003]

More impressive than his knowledge at teaching physics, is the determination with which he cleans his board

I really don't understand why this channel has only 44k subscribers. The number should be a lot more. At leat 10 to 15 times more. Really good class. Thank you sir.

[@battlefieldclips7013]

Just think how many people r there in the world? And how many of them r literate? And how many of those literate ones studied science? And how many of those science students belong to physics? And how many of those physics students dropped out? And how many of them r left? And out of them how many of them ve access to the internet? And how many of those with internet r really interested in physics? And how many of those really search KZbin for lessons? And how many of them really do know about his videos? .............so the end result must be very small. Hence, only 44k subscribers.

Matt's got some mad wave-drawing skills those things are damn neat.

I wish you did a lecture like this for Quantum Field Theory, I bet it would be amazing!!!! Thank you for your lectures, they deserve way more attention than they get.

Excellent. Thank you. Can't wait for more material from you.

[@lukewoodward4342]

Love your videos so much. They are helping me a ton to study for my physics exams. It truly means a lot that you would go out of your way to help students like me out by posting this content.

[@yoprofmatt]

Thanks, glad you're enjoying these. It's my pleasure to spread some physics knowledge. Cheers, Dr. A

The best physics Prof. I’ve seen. Hands down!

What a superstar! Most enlightening 57min of physics of my life!

I was suffering in my Optics section until I found your videos!

[@yoprofmatt]

Thanks for the comment. Hopefully these videos have helped you see the light. Get it, light. Like optics. Ah, physics humor, can't get enough of it. Cheers, Dr. A

[@searchexpresseti1]

Suppose you have two otherwise identical laser beams intersecting at a small prism with one beam 180 degrees out of phase producing total destructive interference. The beams intersect at the prism at a slight angle like an elongated x. The index of refraction is wavelength dependent but if the waves are totally cancelled in the prism, would the beams exit the prism at same angle as if the beams constructively interfered? I assume there are no “waves” and thus no detectable wavelength per se while beams are in the glass if there is total destructive interference at that point in space.

[@losertv4483]

Thank you..

[@khalidjj2073]

Another great video! Curious So if two light waves are 180 out of phase then...there is cancellation....meaning no light, dark. The photons and magnetic fields dissapear. They annihilate each other....is there energy produced

[@chiamdowjeng8274]

Appreciated

[@maskedmarvyl4774]

I very much appreciate the explanations; however, like most physics professors, he doesn't go through an actual sample equation. It would have been nice if he had done a couple sample equations of different distances and wavelengths of light, so we could really see the nuts and bolts of the math being done. Instead, he gives the formula, and leaves it to the students to employ it. However, as the rest of us viewers aren't there in his class and aren't given homework problems, we can't do that. It would really help the rest of us viewers at home to see at least one sample problem being done with actual figures. I think around 36:00, he got mixed up in his explanation and equations explaining the speed of light in a vacuum versus speed of light through a material. Also, he neglected to mention in his equation for speed of light in a vacuum that the index of refraction in a vacuum is considered to be 1, and left that off when he did the calculation of speed of light in a vacuum with his frequency (naught) times wavelength (naught), equaling the speed of light in a vacuum.

This fantastic truly amazing beautiful explanation. Thanks again professor

Professor Anderson, you are awesome! Can you help me understand how you added the E fields… At your video time stamp 2:33, the distance between E waves 1 and 2 were arbitrarily drawn. So, my question is, to actually add waves are they masked over each other? Thanks!

[@yoprofmatt]

Yes, the waves will need to be on top of each other to add up. I drew them separate just to illustrate the notion of superposition. Cheers, Dr. A

[@polarkerr]

Nice videos Prof, cool board needs automated wipers though, I can make that for you hhh

[@arahul4045]

Sir, what's the prescribed textbook?

[@saskiavanhoutert3190]

I can understand the lightwaves used in highprogramming with computers, but what about lowprogramming is that also the acquintance. I learned about zero's and one's or nor's and add's by copperwires. Remarks I do like. Kind regards.

[@saskiavanhoutert3190]

Shouldn't you speak of tan þ instead of sin þ prof M. Anderson, then I understand it more, but perhaps I am wrong. Thanks and kind regards

[@tugrulbirtek2024]

Professor, thank you, your lectures are great. However, you may significantly shorten the time of the video by speeding up the erasing and long writing parts. Those times take more than the half of a video. I always do it myself (skipping those parts).

[@rubickon]

No need, its perfect this way. Gives you time to think. No need to hurry all the time. If its bothers you, just skip, or change the speed

[@eyueldawit6355]

[@youtubecommentor1338]

if light is a wave...then how rectilinear propagation holds good?

[@yoprofmatt]

youtube commentor, Great question. Rectilinear propagation refers to the direction of momentum of the wave. This is perpendicular to E & B, given by the right hand rule. Even though E & B oscillate, the momentum vector points straight.
