6:30 We actually know very well why! A *Colloïd* is simply a name given to any object that has a size from 1nm to 1µm. When you shake water and oil together you are creating droplet of oils that are colloïds! Colloïds are unstable by nature because of surface tension. Oil droplets will naturally do two things: 1) If they are less dense than water, *rise up to the surface* 2) *Merge into bigger droplets* , because bigger droplets are more stable in regards to surface tension For your colloïd suspension to be stable you therefore have to counteract both effects. 1) is easy. A particular property of colloïds is that they are so *small* , that natural random movement that all molecules have become non negligible. Therefore if the speed at which they rise up to the surface due to archimedes is lower or equal to the speed of their random movement, they won't rise and will fill the whole volume, like a molecule would. This is mainly dependent on their size, the *smaller* they are, the more they *diffuse* and the less they rise. 2) Is harder but essential. Surface tension will merge any colloid suspension, unless you have particular molecules that stabilize the suspension. Which is the case in your alcohol! *Proteins* , soaps, surfactants,... any molecule that has a *hydrophilic and a lipophilic* part will place themselves at the *boudaries* of these tiny droplets, *reduce surface tension* , and make the droplets repel each other, therefore they will stay small and never merge. It is a well studied phenomenon, especially in *biology and pharmacology* , where you often want *oily molecules to be suspended in a water solution* for delivery, and you don't want your medicine to divide into a fine layer of high concentrated oily molecules and a deep layer of useless water.

"Therefore if the speed at which they rise up to the surface due to archimedes is lower or equal to the speed of their random movement, they won't rise and will fill the whole volume" But the random movement cancels itself out in all directions, so it will still have the added force of buoyancy lifting it. Colloids were a bit part of my job when I was making biofuel, and one problem we struggled with was, regardless of size, the particles would eventually separate even with an emulsifying agent. I still don't think the company has a way of keeping the colloid submerged and colloidal without agitation.

There is a technique in animal and organ preparation called Spalteholz preparation. By matching the refracting index of the conservation fluid and the outer layer of the object the object becomes translucent. So you can study the inner parts of your object without a section.

We're a company that makes a hydrophobic coating designed to create art that appears when it rains. Our process relies on the fact that concrete gets darker when it gets wet. I've dug into why this happens several times but your video provided a more clear explanation than I've been able to find before, thank you! Interestingly, hydrochromic paints list silica as an active ingredient, which is also an ingredient in our hydrophobic coating. It's wild that silica can act as a white-to-transparent ingredient as well as a hydrophobic ingredient. If you ever made a video about the stunningly varied applications of silica, I'd be extremely interested to see it!
@louisvictor3473 Жыл бұрын
I wonder how useful this is 2 years later, but the main difference is that hydrophobic silica isn't pure, it is bounded to hydrophobic agents. Meanwhile, silica/fused silica (i.e. quartz) has a refractive index closeish to water (water 1.333..., silica 1.5 down to 1.4 ish), while air is about 1.0, so you get less dispersion in water). Specially if the layer is thin.

In metal polishing, we sometimes aim for the opposite of this effect. A "black" polished surface is so smooth that it no longer scatters any appreciable amount of light, acting like an almost perfect first-surface mirror. From certain angles it will appear completely black, because all of the incident light is reflected away from the viewer. It's most often seen on components in high-end mechanical watches, but we use the technique a lot for injection moulds for plastic optical components.

As a chef you get a sort of intuitive feel for when different oil emulsions will remain stable for certain periods of time. Alcohol, amphiphilic additives, ratio of oil to water, dissolved solids such as sugar and gelatin, all have different effects. Too complicated to write it all down so you just go by feel and experience. Anise based essential oils in liquors are a special one I don't have as much familiarity with since you can't really "cook" anything with that effect.
@gigglysamentz20214 жыл бұрын
6:20 I did a little controlled experiment: turns out ethanol helps stabilise oil in small droplet in water, turning the water cloudy. Maybe the ethanol molecules act like amphiphiles ("ethan" part towards the oil, "ol" part towards the water). A bit like soap dispersing the oil throughout the water. Maybe it prevents coalescing of the oil because the ethanol layer needs energy to be broken.

One test you can run on the theory is to foam up the shave gel and then form it into a long line of foam and then illuminate the foam from the far end, opposite the camera. The light it sees should be that which had to pass through a lot of the gel (hence, blue). You may need to put mirrors along the sides of the foam to redirect all of the scattered light back into the foam (or else you might see very little light making it all the way through the foam)

In the foam, the amount of light that reaches the inside of the material is lower because there are so many surfaces that reflect light before enough thickness of the material is encountered.

I guess the lipids in the perno (or however is called) have some kind of polar molecules that eventually make a little ball around the insoluble lipids so that it separates the lipids from the water. A similar thing happens in your blood to transport cholesterol and fatty acids. (They are called ldl hdl and quilomicrons, all of them being lipoptroteins) i dont know this for sure but it makes sense for me. Edit: turns out perno is not aromatic oil (as i assumed) so probably this is not the reason, the video, specially comparing it to the emulsion of oil in water made me confused

Apparently, all sunscreen lotions I've checked have Titanium Dioxide in their composition... Is this scattering responsible for their UV protection?
@GuyNamedSean4 жыл бұрын
Partially, yes. The whole point in sunscreen is to be opaque to UV. Most sunscreens that I've seen appear black on a UV image, so it would appear they absorb the light, but I have seen some that reflect the majority of the light.

I hadn't heard of Buddha Board before, but when you described it, my mind immediately jumped to frosted glass. I own a frosted glass chess set (half the squares/pieces are clear glass, half are frosted), and after I had used it a fair amount I found the glass had a lot of fingerprints on it and I wanted to clean it. I got a damp cloth and wiped it down, and much to my surprise all of the squares disappeared. Sure enough as it dried, the frosting came right back.

6:30ish: If the droplets don't fall or rise, they are probably so small that their inertia is tiny compared to their cross-sectional area, and thus they react as very low-Reynolds number flows and their buoyancy gets overwhelmed by the Brownian motion. As for the droplets not combining into bigger droplets, it has to do it being an emulsion, where surfactants create a kind of chemical "pressure" which pushes the droplets apart. Once again, their inertia is so minuscule that our macroscopic intuition of particle dynamics breaks down and particles start to behave in surprising, unintuitive ways. Search for "Bacterial Hydrodinamics" on ArXiv for an interesting review of the subject.

The more precise explanation of why the colour of the bulk material doesn't show when it is a powder or foam is that the light path from when it enters the foam/mass of powder until it is all backscattered is substantially through air and only a fraction of the path is through the bubble walls/crystals so it is similar to looking through only a very thin layer of the bulk substance.

Something in the wet glue is suspended in various orientations, scattering the light, but orients into a shared direction when it solidifies, making it transparent? Edit: Another comment I found hypothesized that the adhesive being emulsified in the water scatter light while suspended in the water, but when the water evaporates, it becomes less refractive.

Great explanation of why foams are white. It would be interesting to try to create several intermediate levels of liquid/air ratios before reaching the finished white foam to see the colour changing. This reminded me of a disagreement a few months ago between a baker who had a 'hack' for creating cake frosting with less food colouring for the same shade. To do this she made a whipped frosting which was pale and then blended it up which made it darker. A content creator that does debunking then came along as said "yes, but you now have less frosting, so you will need to use more frosting to cover the cakes and that frosting will need food colouring too". The original baker said no, the colour would now stay the same if it was re-whipped and regained the same volume (which is actually difficult to do). This to me sounded incorrect but I couldn't have actually explained why it was incorrect. Now I know that air in a foam creates scattering, if the colour is stronger there must be less scattering and therefore less air in it.
