Wave-Particle Duality of Light
In this video Paul Andersen explains how light can be treated as both a particle and a wave. Physicists use scale to determine which model to use when studying light. When the wavelength of light is equivalent to the size of the object a...

Light Waves: Understanding the Wave Nature
We deal with light on a daily basis, and it has wave-like characteristics that are essential to many natural and technological processes. The wave nature of light aids in the explanation of a number of important optical phenomena,...

Quantum Mechanics | The Act of Measurement
The act of measurement in quantum mechanics causes "collapse of the wavefunction". Here, I explain what is meant by measurement in the discipline of quantum mechanics.

The Quantum Barrier Potential Part 2: Defining the Transmission and Reflection Coefficients
In the previous tutorial we introduced our second quantum problem, that of the quantum barrier potential. Again, this involves a free particle that encounters a barrier of finite potential. We've already solved the Schrödinger equation...

Quantization of Energy Part 2: Photons, Electrons, and Wave-Particle Duality
So Max Planck kicked things off, but how does the story of modern physics continue? With none other than your favorite scientist and mine, Albert Einstein! He did more than just stick his tongue out and have crazy hair. He elucidated the...

The Double-Slit Experiment
This is a classic experiment that is frequently referred to when describing quantum phenomena, so we definitely have to go over it a little bit. What happens when you pass a beam of light through a screen with two slits? What about when...

Wave-Particle Duality and the Photoelectric Effect
Look, up in the sky, it's a particle! It's a wave! Actually it's both. It's light! How do we know about this stuff? Well, because of Einstein for one. He did more than E = mc^2, you know. But don't stare at the sun to see for yourself,...

Crash Course Physics #43: Quantum Mechanics Part 1
What is light? That is something that has plagued scientists for centuries. It behaves light a wave - and a particle - what? Is it both? In this video [8:45] episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini introduces to the idea of Quantum...

Crash Course Physics #44: Quantum Mechanics Part 2
e=mc2. It's a big deal, right? But why? And what about this grumpy cat in a box and probability? In this video episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini attempts to explain a little more on the topic of Quantum Mechanics. [9:07]
