Planck's Constant and The Origin of Quantum Mechanics | Space Time | PBS Digital Studios

12th - Higher Ed
Planck's Length is the length below which the concept of length loses its meaning. What exactly does that mean and what are the incredible implications this fact has upon our reality? To find out check out this episode of Space Time...

Photons

12th - Higher Ed
In this video Paul Andersen explains how light travels in photons which can be described as both particles and waves. Einstein showed that photons can be described as particles using the photoelectric effect to show that the energy of a...

The kg is dead, long live the kg

9th - Higher Ed
Will this be the last video I make about SI units? Quite possibly. There's something about being so precise and defining the systems within which science works. When we can more accurately and routinely measure a kilogram, a mole, a...

Photoelectric Effect Explained in Simple Words for Beginners

Pre-K - Higher Ed
Photoelectric effect occurs when electromagnetic radiation above the threshold frequency of the given metallic surface, strikes the surface and releases electrons from it. This happens because light is made of massless particles called...

Quantization of Energy Part 1: Blackbody Radiation and the Ultraviolet Catastrophe

9th - Higher Ed
So we know that physics got turned upside down at the turn of the 20th century, but how did that all begin? What was the first thing that set this whole chain of events into motion? Well it all started with Planck and the ultraviolet...

Physics Girl: Is Energy Always Conserved?

9th - 10th
When light passes through the universe and is redshifted by the expansion of space itself, how is energy conserved? The stretched light has a longer wavelength and therefore a lower energy. Is energy conserved? If so, where does it go?...
