AMAZING ending, wow!
As a matter of fact, we can also tell that total internal refraction phenomena only take place when light enters from denser medium to rarer medium
IM A STUDENT OF CLASS 10TH CBSC ONCE MY SCIENCE TEACHER TOLD ME TO STUDY THINGS DEEPLY I THEN FOUND YOUR CHANNEL AND YOU ARE THE BEST TEACHER SIR LOVE FROM INDIA
FYI
was made experiments with measuring EM waves speed of different frequency and result very interesting,
close to low frequency (few kHz) speed very low (significantly slower then speed of light)
it will be very interesting to repeat this experiment and explain mechanism why this happens
but that mean that speed of light is not constant at all (even red and violet waves must have significant and measurable difference of speed) and with waves of higher frequency it can be more than c
Thanks for the eye opening lectures on physics - with all my humble opinion - i would be very glad to see - now that all physics basic university courses video are in place. A published book series of the "lecture on physics - by Walter Levin".
I have a question regarding Newton's Explanation.
15:29
I think he could have argued as follows:
Instead of the increase in vertical component of velocity, he could have said that there is a decrease in horizontal component of velocity. Then too, the ray would have bent towards the normal and the speed of light would have decreased as expected(keeping all else unchanged). Moreover, the reason for decrease in horizontal component could be possibly considered to be "friction", as water is denser(well, I don't think newton really distinguished optical density from matter density; correct me if I am wrong)
So far, I think this explanation could have managed to survive for some time at least...
The top is so cooool ! Amazing
Sir, is there a playlist which contains all your lectures on ray optics?
Leaked the question for exam like a boss
Thank you for this wonderful courses, Mr. Lewin! I can never truly express my entire gratitude for your efforts.
I do however have a question. At around 25 minutes into this lecture, you mention that, in case the sound waves would behave as EM waves (lower frequencies have a lower refractive index, thus a higher velocity), the sound coming from a violin during a concert would come first, then would come the sound of a bass per se. Isn't it supposed to be the other way around, given that the violin has a higher sound frequency?
(By the way, I became very excited when I found out that the university into which I've been accepted is the one you've graduated from :) )
Liaten carefully to what I said: "if the high freq sound traveled faster than low freq as an example". In other words I did not make a direct connection with EM waves. What I said is fine.
Very good lecture Sir. Thanks 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
So the fact that when you pause the video or watch carefully, you can see the colours. I think that is because of the shutter speed of the camera. In a one frame (24fps of 30fps footage) duration ,the disk does not rotate a full revolution, that's why we see colours but a bit faded.
If in one frame duration the disk could rotate a full revolution, then we might have seen pure white light. So my assumption is, if the footage was rolling at 30fps, then the disk have to rotate 30 rps(revolution per second) to be seen white to the TH-cam viewers. Correct me if I am wrong sir.
great lecture I really appreciate that :)
Thank you very much prof l learn all the time from lectures
I have suggestion you can explain quantum machines
n = √(K*Km)
K is dielectric constant, is Km relative permeability?
It will be more useful for Indian Students in Neet preparation because syllabus is more practical than theorytical
How does Cauchy's relation affect the formation of Auroras in the poles of the planet ?
The day when I heard about you from Alakh Pandey sir I decided to study optics from you but now I have realised that my decision was not wrong
I wanted to ask the following. When we turn on a torchlight we are producing electromagnetic waves. So are these a result of accelerating charges? Put differently is accelerating charges the only way to produce electromagnetic waves ? Or is there any other way to produce them ?
It depends on the kind of flashlight. Google "incandescent" light, fluorescent light and LED
I don’t know how it’s done, but that sound of a dotted line when he is working with chalk is cool. If I wasn’t watching I’d swear it’s exactly the same sound the A-10 Warthog makes when it’s firing it’s 30 mm gun. Brrrraaaaa
I just had a very brief question about the benham top. Why do would see the colors switching position when we reverse the direction of rotation? Isn't the rate at which a particular spot on the top the same whether we rotate it clockwise or counterclockwise and therefore we should see the same color regardless of direction?
It's a good question. It has nothing to do with physics. Seeing colors is due to the way our brains are wired and the reversal of colors too. Try google
What is the constant in u(mu) sin theta = constant and from where it is derived
And thanks sir for these amazing lectures
I'm confused about the relationship between the frequency of an electromagnetic wave and the index of refraction between air and water. At about 24:13, we see that lower frequency waves have a slower speed through a dielectric and a higher index of refraction than higher frequency waves. In particular, we see that waves with 10 to the 8th Hz frequency have a K of 78 in water and an n of 8.8. Visible light has a higher frequency (5 times 10 to the 14th) and a lower n, 1.33. Later, though, we learn that blue light has a higher n than red light. Blue light has a higher frequency than red light. How can blue light have a higher n than red light, and radio waves also have a higher n than red light? Seems inconsistent. What am I confusing?
In the optical part of the spectrum the index of refraction (water and glass) are higher for blue light than fir red. Blue has a higher freq than red. Thus the speed of light in water is lower for blue light than for red light; this is some kind of an anomaly. Use google to see how speed of light varies at different frequencies. It's also discussed on Bekefi and Barrett which is the book I use for 8.03.

same problem for me...
that is correct. The speed of light will change, but NOT the frequency of the light.
I had the same mind blowing question!! How can n(blue)>n(red)?? This implies that k(blue)>k(red)... but as we know the frequency of blue light is higher than red light so it should have been that n(blue)

Sir I try to download your lecture notes but your link is not working can you suggest me another way to download?
Hello Sir, I was a bit puzzled when I saw blue light with higher index of refraction than red. Blue has higher frequency, implying lower K (dielectric constant), shouldn't this mean lower index of refraction? Am I missing something? Thank you.
Good question - it's called "anominal refraction" use google.
@@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259 Ah. I see. Thank you :)
Hi professor Lewin,
In your lecture, you said that if somebody increases the frequency, they will decrease the dielectric coefficient and therefore they will increase the speed. But then later you wrote down that blue light travels slower than red light in water, even though blue light has a higher frequency. Is this just an exception, or am I totally misunderstanding it?
Thanks
+Steven Mai Yes that is an exception.
Best explanation I think is in the first topic of Lecture 12 of 8.03x by Walter Lewin
Sir should I use Rensik Halliday 'Walker' or 'Krane' for theory? PLS REPLY

Well, if I may be picky, you don't have 100% total reflection. You forgot to mention the evanescent waves, but this is just a PCF specialist talking here.
*ps:* a part about supercontinuum generation is clearly missing here (it is MIT after all....)! It was quite new when these lessons took place, it would have been super interesting to introduce them to it! Would have been amazing for them to be introduced to the marvel of optical fibers with a FULL lesson about it!

Sir I have watched your videos on interference and diffraction but still I am not able to differentiate between these two and specially in case of slits.So can you please help me in understanding these concepts
Single slit diffraction and double slit interference are BOTH interference and also BOTH diffraction. For historical reasons one is call "diffraction", the other "interference". But the bottom line is that the physics is the same ; it's due to Huygens wavelets that interfere with each other.
Thanx Sir it will help me alot.

I didn't really understand the kappa and kappa of m. Isn't kappa used to described the permeability of the insulating material? How does it link to the refractive index?

Dear professor, for the clown slides at 48:27, does the video show the same colors as you saw in the class? According to what you said about brain getting `mixed up,' I thought we should see different colors in this video recording, since the colors are not `real.'
good point - I suggest you read about more about the Edwin Land demos.
I have discussed this him. It so happens that photographic paper and video (color) have sensitivity for 3 different colors and the result is that photo copies and videos show a very similar result.
Thanks, professor! I found a seemingly nice site about this interesting Land's effect: www.aw3rd.us/scief/colorviz.htm (The site has a link to Land's article in Scientific American at the end.)
Professor, could you please tell me what books were prescribed for this course? I would like to check them out.

we have interesting paradox when saying the light is electromagnetic waves - it penetrating very deep (about 1000 meters) into salt water (it is good conductor) and this can`t be explained with Maxwell's equations, regarding his equations light should stops in the layer of few millimeters,
how this can be explained?

When Newton said the light got a acceleration boost, along the surface of the water" it may have done "But this energy boost was needed to stay together in holding its new angle through the water ,with out being shattered or broken up
Newton's ideas about light were incorrect
@@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259 light is a many faceted thing laws and theories are but a facet Newton made a contribution that one did not need to look through As the answer was seen in another facet ( But why would one of the greatest mathematicians of the human race say look this way )

What a mystery
Hi, I thought the speed of light was a fixed constant that couldn't be changed, but in this lecture you say it's speed depends on the medium, was I wrong or did I misinterpret what you said?
its fixed in vacuum c
in media with index of refraction n
it's c/n
Ok, thanks.
Sir what is the maximum and minimum size of water molecule that can refract the sunlight
Sir...as you said if all the VIBGYOR colors rotate at a high speed then due to persistence of vision it appears white.TRUE.But does that mean that something in the light bulb or any white source of light keeps rotating so that it appears white??
no that's not the case
google "blackbody radiation"
sir i accept that c is 1/root (μ0ε0κκm) but in special relativity, there is a law that says that light should travel at the same speed for all observer, so who was right?
Both are right. Any moving observer will measure the same values for μ0 and ε0.

Dear Dr Lewin, based on the dispersion inside the glass prism (at 27:15), why is it that even if the rectangular glass block (at 28:31) is very thick, we wouldn't see a red lining and a violet lining at the upper and lower edge of the emitted light from the rectangular block? If parallel light of different colours are sufficiently far apart, shouldn't we be able to distinguish the different colours?
use ray tracing and you will get your answer.
@@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259 Dear sir, I traced a ray of white light, incident at 45 degrees through a rectangular body of water that is 20.3 cm thick. The separation between the parallel rays of red and violet light is about 1.7 mm upon exiting the rectangular body. Shouldn't this separation be visible to the naked eye? It doesn't seem to be so in reality.
>>>>>If parallel light of different colours are sufficiently far apart, shouldn't we be able to distinguish the different colours?>>>> *yes, of course*

If your notes can be available then nothing can be better than this.
I posted on this channel my homework assignments + soln, my exams + soln and my Lecture Notes. You find them as pdf files below the video thumb nails.
Can sin (theta 2) never equal 45 degrees? because x=0 (which can't be divided), what happens in nature?
sir is it always true for water or other medium of refractive index greater than 1 that if angle of incidence is 0 then angle of refraction must be 0 here incident light come from air medium
If i=0 then r must be zero. sin i = n sin r

Why does light bend towards normal when it travels from rarer medium to denser medium?
Snell's Law
Sir, lots of love and respect from Assam, India. I am a student of class XII. I have a question. If an object is moving with a speed v then its mass will also increase a little (though negligibly). Which will add up to a new kinetic energy. Since E=mc^2 therefore its mass will again increase and this process will continue. Is this depicting inertia of motion?
if an object is moving with speed v, its mass wil not increase, but gamma will increase. E=gamma*m*c^2
@@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259 Thanks for replying sir. But I don't know what gamma is. I will certainly try to learn these things. Thanks again sir.

Respected Sir, could you please explain the reason for why light slows down on entering an optically dense medium. Also, does light refract when it enters from one medium to another perpendicular (parallel to the normal).
the short answer is that the speed of light in a medium with index of refraction n is c/n. Thus it slows down in going from air to water.
Why does light slow down when it enters matter?
There are many ways to answer the question, and many ways to look at it, including “it just does - that’s the nature we have”.
One easy way to actually answer it is to examine how Maxwell’s Equations, which interrelate space, time, electric fields, magnetic fields, charge, and how the two fields affect the matter in which they exist.
The speed of light in vacuum, c, does not appear in Maxwell’s equations, but when you derive the electromagnetic wave equations by cleverly combining several of the field equations, something almost magical appears seemingly out of nowhere: a wave velocity equal to 1/Sqrt(µ0 ε0) where ε0 is the constant in Coulomb’s force law for electric fields from charges and µ0 is the corresponding constant for the magnetic force law - and this velocity 1/Sqrt(µ0 ε0) turns out to be exactly c!
[In modern times the speed of light in vacuum isn’t measured experimentally anymore - it has been made a definition, and experiments are now done to measure the length of the meter based on the defined speed of light and the measured second, but historically what I said in the previous paragraph applied usefully at the time all this was done.]
In matter, the electric and magnetic polarization of the matter by the fields requires replacing µ0 by µ and ε0 by ε, where is always the case that µ >= µ0 and ε >= ε0. These two measured properties of the matter describe how its polarization by the electric and magnetic fields weakens the strength of the electric and magnetic force laws inside the matter.
Now here’s the important point, and the answer to your question: the speed of light in the matter now becomes 1/Sqrt(µ ε)
@@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259 , Respected Sir, thank you so much. I will read it to make my concept clear.
Sir how refractive index of air is 1 is it imaginary or any calculation behind it?? Pls tell 🙏🏻
From the experiment may be
is it technically\physically possible to try an experiments to produce electromagnetic waves with wave size like a light
the same way we making radio waves? (by real antenna like Hertz did)
maybe using some sort of dividing original wave into short pieces?
it will be very interesting to compare real light with such synthetic version (of real EM wave)
