    Physics on Khan Academy: Physics is the study of the basic principles that govern the physical world around us. We'll start by looking at motion itself. Then, we'll learn about forces, momentum, energy, and other concepts in lots of different physical situations. To get the most out of physics, you'll need a solid understanding of algebra and a basic understanding of trigonometry.
    About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

    i love how he hopes we find it "reasonably interesting," lol. not "incredibly" interesting or even "very" interesting. just "reasonably" interesting. :D

    Sal, you are a lifesaver! Summer classes have us learning this whole playlist in 3 days and it's going to make up around 25% of the final. I was so stressed but 3 hours of sitting down and watching this playlist actually makes it manageable. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

    0:38 i love that you always have such good examples to explain such phenomenons. this has actually something to do with the wave character of light. the example with the car is perfectly fitting. the light reenters the medium it just left due to its diagonal micro movements and looses speed. reentering the fast medium again, it made a curve.

    I swear no one teaches like Khan Academy!
    This is amazing, I had been trying to understand this whole concept from other videos, but for some reason, all those teachers or speakers assumed that everyone is a genius and automatically knows what they are talking about so instead of explaining, they just carry on saying a bunch of words that I have never had of.

    The core has a high refractive index and it is surrounded by cladding that has a very low refractive index. There is a "cone of acceptance" (where you seem to have gotten confused; the air to 'glass' transition is not fundamental to internal reflexivity) such that for snells law, rearranged and sin90->1
    crit. angle = sin^-1 (1 / huge n). the argument approaches 1/inf. and sin inverse of zero in 90 degrees.
    That is to say, that only if light approaches at 90 angle will it escape. :3!

  • @ArturoG21
    @ArturoG21 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    So is it safe to assume that regardless of the media the ray is initially in and the final media it is in, we can use the media with the lower index of refraction in the numerator, and the higher index in the denominator? Because there's been a couple situations where I get undefined errors in my calculator. For example when a ray goes from glass to air and I use the glass in the numerator and the air in the denominator because I'm thinking n1 = glass since it was in glass first.
