Lol, it's Raman not Ramen, I guess I was hungry...
1st reply to him
Now I'm hungry, too!
Same

C.v Raman, a indian scientist...nobel prize winner...got this idea while on a boat
Girlfriend: We missed the sunset
Me: Dont worry I have milk and water at home
*Me* : Mom, I wanna see the sunset before we go
*Mom* : We have sunset at home already
*Sunset at home* :
This man makes us see physics through his eyes.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Great way of explaining.
that was simply awesome! I can't wait to show it to my daughter when she's old enough to understand the concept.
Show her now
Why not now?
You'd better show her now before those flattards get into her head first.
@@humanbeing1429 lol but true, very true!
Here is a more detailed explanation:

“Ramen scattering” sounds more like something I’d do when I’m broke and hungry
I think u might be jocking but just in case Raman Is the name of Indian Scientist "C.V. Raman" who discovered this effect. :D
@@ashutoshmahapatra537 Joking*
Ramen is a poor man's meal in America. A cup of noodles with hot water in other words.
@@thehotdogman9317 this is raman effect, not rAmEn effect
This is one of the best 'why is the sky blue?' explanations I've ever seen. Connecting it with the fact that the sun appears yellow is a master stroke!
Little child: Tell me, why is the sky blue?
Me: *throws laptop in front of the kid* here look
10 / 10 Patenting
1:54 What you mentioned here is Raman effect(or scattering) after CV Raman an Indian physicist. He won the Nobel Prize in 1930 for this discovery.
Indians😑
There's also a rumor that the friend of the cousin of the nephew of the great great great great grandfather of Messi is Indian
where was YT when I was in the school? In the last couple of years I learned more on YT than during my whole education ;-)
Me too
Wow, you must either watch way too many youtube videos or you skipped a lot of school. 😁
I've tried the milk in water thing, and I don't remember it working that well. I need to try again. By the way, the scattering power of particles scales as their *(diameter^6)* so that's why the scattering works in just 1 foot of water, when it takes miles of atmosphere to work with small particles in/of the air.
You have to use very little milk
Learned about those effects before but never noticed how simple this can be shown in action. Awesome
So we've learned today that the sky has milk😂😂
Mmmm... Milky air...
Hey sky, got milk?😂
I could oppose this comment but it's funny 🤣
@@axiomer47 🤣🤣
yummy cummy milk
Your channel is nice to binge watch this quarantine, a great help for me now that I'm reviewing for boards. Thank you, sir! ❤️👌
Hi , I have been following your channel from a long time , thanks for teaching me a lot during this period....thank you THE ACTION LAB...
very short, simple and informative. this is why i love your videos, they are not unnecessarily stretched upto 10 mins.
Wow, this is the best demonstration of why the sky is blue I have ever seen. Great work 👍🏼
Another great video. Keep it up. I will support this channel when I get a job
Wow good info in this video! I always knew the atmosphere scattered light from our Sun but never looked at it like this before. Nice job with the easy home experiment
The sun is white and yellow at the same time? That’s a weird feeling for sure.
It's all the colours at the same time, which combines to form what we perceive as white
Quantum color 😂😂
Because the medium changes it. (Atmosphere contain water, oxygen, and whatever you call it)
That's why don't buy things through a medium. The price will become "yellow".
The Sun is the most racist thing ever, that's why.
The sun mostly appears white. It doesn't get yellowish until it gets low in the sky.
I found this channel through King of Random. I really like how you show experiments and explain everything perfectly for others to understand.
Gonna try this with the kids. They will love this. Thank you
It is my First time that i have a FIRST VIEW to any YOU TUBE VIDEO and that too happened to be one of your Videos................Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy !!!!!
I am a huge fan of "The Action Lab".......and i just love the different Experiments you do and the way you explain them..................Carry on doing EXPERIMENTS !!!!!
those simple experiments that answering simple questions with the use of physics are simple awesome! great video!
Excellent, concise, accurate and scientific demonstration!
Wow... i read about scattering in school... but your demonstration was awesome....
So many things learnt in such a short video. Amazing !
Great demonstration.
I love this channel , it is in the top list.
thats amazing 💛💛💛 thank you for those nice videos
Nice and knowledgeable video, thanks Action lab.😊
Liked it!
The Nobel Prize should consider this demo.
What a great video!!! Thanks a lot.
That was a really cool experiment!
It's really a good demonstration on how we perceive different colours of light.👍👏👏
Very well explained!
Thanks for simple but great informational video
This always facinates me
I really love your show, keep doing the great stuff! I must confess though that your voice sometimes reminds me of Lumpy Space Princess from Adventure Time
My long life question has been answered with demo. Thank You Very Much
Excellent video!!
Wow, that's really cool and amazing! 👍🏻😀
I love your videos man. Ramen scattering :) . Funny AF. It Raman BTW
Photons bless you sir, wonderful explanation! Thanks
Great presentation.
This is very easy to understand. I literally googling about why the sky is blue and why the sunset has reddish color, but i never understand. Lol. This is very informative. I'm glad you guys are able to help others who isn't good in science. Keep them coming
That's the best video you created in month. Actually.
Very well done. Would like ro see more on why/how the interaction of light with molecules causes the light to behave in these two ways.
Excellent! Simple and clear. Bonus in explaining why sunset look reddish.
Amazing experiment.
This is the best explanation
Thanks for the science fair idea
I love this guy, he's really awesome
Finally ..... the perfect experiment ..... thank you so much ......
I really appreciate your videos
This is the best ever explanation about why is the sky blue.
You are an amazing youtuber, thank you!
I am a physicist, and was trying to explain this to some friends (using words like quantum and Debroglie, yikes). It seems all I needed was milk and water :) Thanks for making such a simple demo with great explanations!
Love ur content ❤️
I've learned more about physics from this channel than from my school. Thank you so much!!!!
I was just wondering this yesterday! Is TH-cam AND you listening to my thoughts?! Lol. This is the ONLY time I’ll say it’s ok! Thanks for the answer!
I learnt more from this 4 min short video than from 2 (*) 40-mins lecture of Science in my class! Gr8 job!
Amazing!!
1:09 this is beautiful
cool stuff on your channel man.
Good one!
Mind blown!!
The Action Lab, I love your videos and I watch them regularly. I gain knowledge from your videos and found it interesting too........
Inspired from you, I named my channel as 'The Crazy Lab'.
Great video
Thanks!
This is one of the few places I actually learn something
Loved all vídeos from this Channel! Congratulations The Action Lab! Why don't have portuguese legend? ☹️
I love your videos!!
And I am early this time...YES!!!
@The Action Lab When I learned Rayleigh scattering from my Electrodynamics textbook, the explanation given says why scattered light is polarized perpendicular to the direction of travel of light. I don't remember what Raman scattering is, but wasn't aware it had its own explanation for the polarization. Makes me wonder what new it adds.
In fact, I've noticed something really cool using the theory behind Rayleigh scattering with lasers. If you shine a laser perpendicular to your camera, the beam will appear brighter when the light is vertically polarized, and it will dim when you twist the laser 90 degrees so it is horizontally polarized. I tried this with my 405 nm laser a while ago and it worked!
Nice information sir....loved your content👌.... Love From India❤️
This channel does not deserve 2.56M subscribers, It deserves at least 10 M subscribers
This is a great channel
Thanks for making us smart.
Schools couldn't do that.
Cool!
finally, a decent explanation not just why the sky is blue, and also why the sun looks yellow
Superb easy cool man I loved your channel your an inspiration
Please tell me what is the source of this experiment
*_C.V. Raman was a Indian Scientist, Mathematician, Philosopher, Musician and Professor... He was the very person who discovered Raman Effect_* 🙂
you mean he discovered ramen? :D
@@kjgfalsk surprised he didn't boil the water
He kinda looks like Freddie Mercury with his mustache
Not really
Thanks for making more of this videos - Light physics. What's the technical word to call it?
Look what I found....Our Mr. scientist as a rock band performer....😅
th-cam.com/video/0ywst7xFUn4/w-d-xo.html
Optics. Or in Newton's time, Opticks. More generally, electromagnetism.
Few days ago I did same experiment in small glass after reading colloidal solution of surface chemistry chapter.
exxalent sir🙏
Wow!
You should make laboratory manuals for schools with practicals like these. The ones schools give us, sucks ass.
Alot
They do teach this, read the books...
This video was really good I understood what you meant and you did not ramble (like you sometimes can't do in other videos 😂😉)
Man you are turning into a muscle monster 💪
Can you please do a video about freeze drying food?
When you hear "Today I'm going to be showing you..." you know it's knowledge.
*K n o w l e d g e*
Hey, I know you work hard on these videos and have been getting not too much views lately so I know it’s hard for you. True fans will always help you. ❤️
And as you go up in altitude you just see the blackness of space. That means the blue sky and the red/orange sunset is for our eyes down here in the atmosphere! Awesome design.
Under 5minute, like it!
Glass box, milk, flashlight, wall.
Rayleigh white-blue-orange, Raman white-black, and a quick easy 4th-power math. In less than 4 minutes.
No hype, no bloviating, and a good background music.
I see what you did there.
We need a 2X Like button.
You are great
Brilliant!!!! Bravo!!!!! Please educate all your children to a science rather than watching TV or cell phones TikTok!!
Great video. Interesting that 2 feet of a milk suspension has the same power of 1000s ok km of air molecule but it works :)
Thanks!
awesome. i've been wondering about a method of replicating the sky in a small toy.
great 👌👌👌🙋🙋🙋
ITS LIKE SCIENCE CLASS BUT BETTER !!! and not boring..
