Let's derive the most equation in physics, E = mc^2, intuitively. This is Albert Einstein's original 1905 derivation. Here we will see exactly where the c^2 in the mass energy relation really comes from. We will do each part step by step. We will also derive the expression for the relativistic doppler effect.
Chapters:
00:00 Introduction
00:27 Counting energy lost by the atom
03:31 Relativistic doppler effect animation
06:35 Recounting energy from moving frame
07:20 Discovering Mass - Energy connection
09:47 How mass - energy relation comes from constant speed of light!
12:43 Rearranging the equations - (1)
13:43 Deriving relativistic doppler effect equation - intuitively
20:05 Substituting in equation (1)
22:40 Summarising the result so far
23:19 Final substitution
26:25 The climax - E = mc^2 derived
26:50 The summary

Loved the video. Just wanted to point out that the use of the binomial expansion and limiting to first order makes it sound like E=mc^2 is an approximate equation. A more formal derivation shows that it is in fact exact and not an approximation. It appears you needed to use the approximation because you took kinetic energy to be 1/2mv^2 in your derivation. That is only true at low speeds. It is in fact your kinetic energy equation that is the approximation and not E=mc^2. The use of the binomial expansion simply reconciles E=mc^2 with that kinetic energy approximation. Actually, it is a very nice way of showing how 1/2mv^2 come about at low speed. A more formal derivation would use the full relativistic kinetic energy equation (derived from the work principle) and then you end up with E=mc^2 being exact. I hope you don't mind me mentioning it but I didn't want people to come away thinking E=mc^2 is not exact.

@robwilliams4773
@robwilliams4773 3 ай бұрын
@@Wouter10123 The derivation is straightforward in principle, but nasty in practice. Kinetic energy can be derived using the work-energy principle that says the change in kinetic energy of an object is the work done on it to take it from stationary to some velocity, v. You calculate the work as the integral of force over distance. You integrate Fds. But Force is also the rate of change of momentum, p, so you can integrate (dp/dt)ds instead. This is the same as (ds/dt)dp, which is vdp. Still not nice but using the product rule you can convert this to d(vp)-pdv, and integrate that. That is vp minus the integral of pdv. Relativistic momentum, p, is 'gamma'mv, where 'gamma' is the familiar 1/sqrt(1-(v/c)^2) term of relativity. Substitute that in and the final integral is ugly by doable. The answer is (gamma-1)mc^2. That is relativistic kinetic energy! Not at all familiar is it? However, by doing a binomial expansion of it and dropping the higher terms, you're left with 1/2mv^2 believe it or not! To keep things familiar and intuitive, Mahesh started with 1/2mv^2 so had to apply the same approximation to the left side of his equation (so to speak) to make them consistent. You can see the derivation and discussion in more detail on Wikipedia at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_energy#Derivation_2. Hope that helps.

I grew up with the assumption that only a tiny group of elite physicists could understand the math of the Theory of Relativity. But you clearly go through the math so that it's comprehensible even to me (who struggles with very basic calculus). Your intuitive approach really brings the theory alive and makes it something we, like you, can marvel and wonder at, rather than regard it as too complicated and remote. Kudos to Mahesh!! (P. S. I was a librarian in Jerusalem and got to know the head librarian of Hebrew University, where the original manuscripts of the theory, special and general, are kept. She gave me the wonderful privilege of seeing the manuscripts in person. It was a very powerful experience, seeing these documents that fundamentally changed our view of the universe.)

@@Mahesh_Shenoy I have said that I will say again that in this whole concept one very important variable is forgotten and must be taken into account and that is ACCELERATION of the shot out particle from the atom. NOTHING and NOTHING happens in zero second? Can you run 100 meters sprint in zero seconds? Can you say a word verbally in 0 seonds? NO! Thefore, the particle shot out from the atom must be accelerated by force F and that is equal to ma. Therefore, the equation of kinetic energy KE=1/2mv squared is derived from FORCE applied to an object times distance it moves is equal to the change in its kinetic energy by ACCELERATION. And now the question? The particle does not ''move'' instantaneously from the atom. That's impossible. And where did the FORCE COME from? And why did the particle accelerate to c? In even simpler equation of momenta p=mv, the velocity is gained by acceleration. So, acceleration distorts the E=mc2 because as small as ACCLETERATION may be, it is NOT 0! Something does not jibe here because it looks like the finished product without pointing to the process of acceleration.

I have a question about the final stage of your calculation Mahesh. When you carry out the binomial expansion to finally determine that E=mc^2 you ignore the higher powers of x(v^2/c^2) as the velocity(v) is much smaller than the speed of light(c). Doesn't this mean that E=mc^2 is also an approximation and so would not hold for values of v approaching c?
@robwilliams4773

I was a little worried people might think that when I saw the video. Be in no doubt, E=mc^2 is exact. It is not an approximation. In the video kinetic energy was taken to be 1/2mv^2. THIS is the approximation. Kinetic energy is only 1/2mv^2 at low speeds. What Mahesh was doing was using the binomial expansion to reconcile E=mc^2 with the kinetic energy approximation that we are all familiar with. In fact the binomial expansion is a nice way of showing that kinetic energy becomes 1/2mv^2 at low speed. If you use the full, relativistic kinetic energy (derived using the work principle) then you do not need the binomial expansion and E=mc^2 ends up being exact. I hope that puts your mind at rest.

All observers , regardless of what frame they are in, will agree that the atom has intrinsic mass, m, with energy equivalence given by E=mc^2. The atom may be ascribed kinetic energy in addition to this due to its motion relative to individual observers. Kinetic energy depends on the relative velocity of the atom and therefore different observers will ascribe different amounts of kinetic energy. But they will all agree that the rest-mass energy must be exactly mc^2.

E=mc^2 is not an approximation. Be in no doubt about that. The derivation in the video uses 1/2mv^2 for kinetic energy. THIS is the approximation. It is this equation that only holds at low speeds. The use of the binomial expansion reconciles the derivation with this approximation. If you do the analysis using full relativistic kinetic energy (derived using the work principle) then E=mc^2 is exact. This would make the story a lot more complicated though and I can see why Mahesh didn't go there. The key idea in the video is jumping between frames of reference, assuming physics should behave the same from both points of view, and thinking about what that must imply if the speed of light is the same. That is relativity theory.

This is so great! The intuitive explanation at the beginning (up to 10:35) is so close to an explanation simple enough for people who don't even understand kinetic energy or why energy is proportional to frequency. If you could come up with intuitive ways to understand those two concepts you could help so many more people by letting them understand this magnificent theory!

Excellent. I'm almost having as much fun as you. Thank you well done. I impressed myself when I realized something before you said it regarding the Doppler effect on light I saw the time dilation was needed then you said it. That was fun. So I'm leaning. Thank you . Looking forward to more.

You have a gift of going into detail and can explain in a way that many viewers can relate to. I appreciate that. I also understand that you have a comical and conversational way of presenting. But I cannot help saying that, in invoking great names such as Albert Einstein and Richard Feynman in the dramatic conversations and more importantly in your intonations, they do not come out in quite the respectful way toward the two great geniuses as probably all scientists would do. Even in a dramatic conversation when invoking such towering personalities, the intonation should not sound like you and them are equals. They did everything, and they dedicated their lives to doing so, you are just re-telling their findings in a way many people may find easy to understand. But for this important point, that I could not help pointing out, everything else is good! So, please keep it up!
