Part of what makes Grant such a superlative educator is how he treats the things he leaves out or simplifies. He always points them out, explains why he's skipping over them, and provides a hint as to what including them would look like. It's never "It's too complicated, just don't worry about it."

That's what true mathematicians do. If they are lazy or out of space (or time), they always explain what a non-lazy person should do. They give kind of a recipe even though they don't write down the calculations explicitly. Physics people are in general more lazy to explain what they simplify and why they simplify.

This video reminded me of a talk I had with some friends at CERN, where I told them that we didn't really understand why light refracts, the typical explanations weren't enough. When I looked into it myself, I remember reading the response in the Feynman Lectures and being more or less pleased with what it said. But now with the video and animations everything clicked! From a question I had asked myself ten years ago, it is an incredible sensation! Thank you Grant.

This may be one of the first 3b1b videos I actually understood, wonderful job. Also it is kind of adorable thinking that Grant approached his niece like 'can I push you in a swing for a math video, but like, really badly'

13 minutes in and you’ve already granted 3 revelations in my understanding of our world that would have otherwise taken years for me to understand… you have a very special talent and I thank you massively.

This might be my favorite physics explainer video ever, and it's on a math channel - undergrad me would be twitching =D I love this video because the animations of the phase shift and the oscillator so succinctly get the point across when it normally takes (or at least for me it took) years of imagining and trying to extrapolate from static images on a whiteboard and a lot of conflicting explanations. It's very easy to grasp small pieces of it but if you learn too many disconnected pieces that use different assumptions and approximations you end up with really pretty puzzle pieces that don't fit together. I really hope that others had the same reaction as I did - when I publish something I'm always afraid that it will only make sense to me just because I already know the material, and I think this style fights that very effectively. I'm very excited to see your explanation of "metamaterial" indeces of refraction because the explanation of why speed is bending that I know (plane waves on a 2d mesh are like your tank treads) shouldn't work with speeds faster than C. If it's a phase vs group thing I'm getting ready to be confused but I'll probably understand it better than I ever have before! wait a minute - as I type this I might be having a lightbulb - you showed the startup transient - nobody ever shows the startup transient. is that how you obey relativity but have a phase velocity >C? ahhh that would only work near resonance, which those funky capacitor loops on paper DO. oh my god.

I don't think there is a material on youtube or the internet explaining this stuff in such detail and so comprehensibly. I am blown away. It instantly clicks!

A twenty minute video gives me more intuition than two years of studying field theory at university. As an undergraduate I would not have been able to follow the Feynman lectures as you have done. Thanks for these really very important video lessons.

Props to you for explaining topics proper of a electrodynamics/solid state physics class to a wide audience without making it confusing or hard to digest

Dear Grant Sanderson, You turn raw mathematics into an intuitive knowledge, helping us evole our own ideas about the physical works, with so many emergant subject to explore. You turn math into a real world experience, much like our brains must be doing when it takes measurements of this strange place around us. Thank you for the profound wisdom you share in the simplest of ways. Hats off to you, Sir! Always a fan, best regards :)

As an undergraduate, I would have loved these videos. (As a graduate student, I still love them!) They make so much sense. Your explanation of the sum of sine waves was excellent.

I have no words for how brillantly this is explained! This is very, very high quality teaching.

This is probably your best work so far. To explain third-year undergraduate physics in such a clear and approachable manner is nothing short of genius. This is why the Feynman lectures are beloved by students, often being a student's main literature despite only being supplementary literature in the course plan. I first heard the spring analogy in the context of the Dulong-Petit law. Each quadratic degree of freedom contributes kT/2 energy per particle (equipartition theorem); A particle in a crystal can be approximated as having six quadratic degrees of freedom: three kinetic (v_x, v_y, v_z) and three translational (x, y, z) because it's "sprung" to its nearest neighbours in all three dimensions; therefore, a crystal should have a heat capacity of 3 k per particle, or 3 R/mol. And, yeah crystal heat capacities do cluster around 3R/mol. Simple but damn good approximation.

As a physicist, I (should) already know all of this. An I would argue I mostly fo do, but often in a much more abstract and thus less intuitive way. And because of that, it would be a lie to say I did not learn anything from this. Very well done! Those animations are just pure gold, and the fact that you apply your nitpicky maths brain to physics questions and your reasoning why certain things "are" really is a big win for any physicist watching!

Your videos are going to truly change the world as a new generation will learn concepts with so much more clarity than generations before. I'm just in awe.

I could truly appreciate the real beauty of physics after watching this video. It takes a lot of hard work to produce such beautiful, detailed and asthetically clean and smooth animations to depict hard to imagine pictures which we are required to visualize to understand physics and dive into the thorough depths of it. Wonderful.

You seriously need an award for your ability to teach. It's never about the information for me but how it is explained and in what tone. I hope you love your job. Because I for one appreciate the output. Thank you 😊

You will probably like the update they did to the Dark Side cover for the 20th anniversary edition in 1993 then, where they made it more realistic, with the spectrum being just that: a continuous spectrum rather than individual colours (which btw is also missing a colour compared to the more common colour representation). They even included a faint reflection of the incoming beam bouncing off the surface of the prism.

The animation at 7:30 is truly astounding and enlightening! It'll forever change the way I think about light passing through a medium.

This is a bold and effective representation of Feynman’s ideas concerning the origin of refractive index. I think it is important to note that the charge wiggling up and down is negative.

This is so amazing! I've struggled so much with textbooks and ivy league profs trying to describe this - it always ended up just being arcane gibberish. The brilliantly intuitive explanations combined with the simulations do so much to demystify a frequently opaque subject, even to people like myself who used to work a lot with optics!

never laughed so much at one of your videos as at "bad at pushing a child on a swing". Yeah, that's extra special wrong. The effort you put into these is incredible, thank you so much for what you do.

Thanks Grant, you have made my thursday by releasing this video. I was so intrigued by your past two videos and couldn’t wait for this one, truly a beautiful way to visualise electromagnetic waves and optics.

Bro after my physics studies for becoming a teacher I knew eversthing except for why the light slows down. It was so incredibly well explained and animaded, I will probably use your video to explain this to my students as well! ❤

I hope that no kid was harmed in the making of this video. From the perspective of an electrical engineer, this video was super interesting and explanatory. It's much easier to understand waves and frequencies in this way.

3b1b, I gotta be giving you great thanks. I've ended up pretty much of a humanities guy mostly in my research and education life but deeply believe that the life of the mind requires all directions of enquiry and that therefore the stem/humanities distinction is always and forever something to work on both sides of. Your videos are incredibly good at explaining this fundamental stuff to even a no-attention-span fool such as myself and I will ever be grateful for these insights. All my thanx p.s. your lockdown math videos were awesome and helped keep my mind rigorous during lockdown xoxo

This is incredible. I've never thought to explore derivations of Snell's. These explanations really show the value of animation in education of new concepts, since the hardest part of "understanding" something usually has to do with making some subpar version of these visualizations in your own head... Thanks for all your hard work!

This was actually spectacularly done! It really showed intuitively why all those mechanics work and how they add up to create the system we see. Massive props for you demonstrating the lecture content in a cool way!

This video is awesome in so many ways. The amount of intuition provided is really valuable. It is really difficult to imagine getting the same kind of information in a lecture or in an article. Many of the concepts that seemed common sense or well-known simply receive another level of comprehension in a video like this and after that life gets a little bit more beautiful. Summary: Thank you very much!

Braingasm. Every time I watch a 3B1B video.

what an AMAZING video! Finally after struggling for 4 years in school about this subject i finnaly found interior peace LOL. Thank you for amazingly explaining all that, you guys are really doing a good job!

THANK YOU! About a year ago I got curious and tried SO hard to find this out! I was not even sure how to ask what I wanted, and got nowhere, and gave up, and now you have given me what wanted to know, without even being asked : )

25:07 as a civil/structural engineer i appreciate your didactic approach to simplify light movement with springs, the millenium bridge and the swing (mechanical motion). I understood almost everything👍😁

I can't even explain the amount of joy that I experienced watching this video... Grant, as a third-year physics student I want to tell you, that you job is more than brilliant. Your lessons yet helped me to get through many difficulties on my academic journey. I dream of becoming a physics teacher one day, and your approach to teaching is my main source of inspiration. Respectfully, I bow low to you, Mr. Grant.

Thank you so so much for this incredible series! I have been trying (and failing!) to understand how light could slow down in a material, none of the other explanations made any sense. But your incredible visualizations and clear explanations have finally helped me to understand!

I've never in my life (!) seen a more brilliant explanation. While physics laid out by You mesmerized my mind completely, Your comment with the swing "this isn't how MOM does it..." just stole my heart for the power of intuitive explanation of the MATER as if in a primary design of some kind. Thank you and please don't stop making such great videos.

Great explanation, as always. My favorite physics book, Thinking Physics by Lewis Epstein, uses the metaphor of a man running into the ocean at an angle to explain why (and how) light refracts when it enters a slower medium. A picture would be a lot better here, but, to take the least time to get from point A (on land) to point B (in water), the man runs along the beach longer than if the entire path were straight, then turns at close to the last second before entering the water. If light takes the least-time path from point A to point B, it follows a similar path.

Thank you Grant for such a thoughtful and well-animated video and thanks to Richard Feynman for all the intuitive answers that he has provided to so many physicists. I will re-watch videos 1 - 3 again but I would love a video that wraps up everything to explain the barber pole animation.

That is a FANTASTIC video. You give an explanation AND give further explanations to those. That is genius! One of the best ways to describe what is happening I have seen to date.

I have an undergrad in physics and a masters in engineering. Just watching your animation and listening to your soothing voice reminded me how much I loved learning about stuff. It almost made me cry tears of joy. Godspeed man..

What an amazing deep-dive and clear explanation with immaculate animations. All in 30 minutes???? Wow.

This along side the recent videos by Huygens Optics have added so much to my understanding of wave propagation

i had always been the implicant guy in physics lectures in my high school until i found the explanation for current flow from veritasium and this optics crazy matter. they are really making a good job in international youtube

6-ish months ago, I had to learn a lot of this because I was working on a game, and the math about waves hit me... like a wave... as it's all coming back to me. I like the way you explain it, especially with the vector visualization. Picturing this in my head I use the words but actually seeing you graph a vector was fascinating. A lot of the math I know nowadays from programming videogames comes from my AP High School classes, but we never touched on vectors so I have since taught myself. I guess that was more of a Linear Algebra thing (which wasn't offered at my school), rather than Calculus and Trigonometry (which is what I took).

Good timing! I'm going into optics in my physics class just about now!

I look forward to your video about the index of refraction being < 1. I hope you also cover the rare case where the index of refraction is negative.

I am 42 years old I have been stuyding electromagnetic waves for 20 years and teaching Wireless and optical applications for around 12 years. I feel safe to say that you are one of best - if not the best professor of the planet. The The amount of work you put in your explanations is unprecedented.. as you show in your videos there are some excellent professors around there but none of them with the skills to represent the content in this way. Thank you I'm fan of you great work!! I think you should publish some books using your skills explainning the topics you present here... They would be global betsellers for sure.

Amazingly explained. All hands down. This explanation works with one photon at a time as well, as the wave function interacts with everything producing the same result.

This video is amazing! I wonder if you might touch on Hamiltonian physics applied to ray optics and how that connects to the principles described here

People like to say that light slows down in a medium because it "bounces off" the particles in the medium. Kyle Hill refuted that in one of his videos, but didn't really describe exactly what's happening. This finally explains what he was talking about.

You just earned yourself a new subscriber. I'm very impressed with how you explained the additions of waves with use of vectors, by far the best explaination of this phenomenon I've seen yet.

Wow. Again I Have to express how well made your videos are. Its amazing how much finesse those animations have! I am super glad this exists. I will definitely use it in my shading classes for 3D Artists. Its always good to dive deeper and your videos are the gold standard for this!

Unless you are getting to temperatures where the integrity of the bonds of the material are being messed with (think melting or changing density) I would think you could treat the electric fields as a superposition of whatever equations you come up with.

Just in time for my advanced electromagnetism exam. This is a great video, exactly the visualisations the topic needs! I hadn't grasped how the phase "kick-back" was at every point in the material but your visualisation has totally cleared it up!

As a former math & science teacher, this video is one of my favorites ever! Some parts were intuitive; other parts weren't; other parts I was figuring out a minute before you addressed them; all of it was SO INTERESTING!!! (Also, I loved the illustration with you pushing your niece on the swing!)

Me gently murmuring: "that's not how my teacher explained things". 😂

I clicked on this video thinking it was a Pink Floyd thing...

@@michaelstanley1326 Probably a little happier, actually, I think. Or at least, I don’t know anyone who’s ever locked themselves in their room and spent 24 hours engaged in optics puzzles after a harsh breakup.

One of the best 30min spent! probably the cleanest and neatest to the point explanation! Thank @3Blue1Brown for doing this...

Amazing how you churn these out. This would be more than a lifetime's work for some of us!

3Blue1Brown started creating physics viedoes so that we would study something useful and not pure mathematics.

thank you so much for your science, kindness, information, hard work, design, and generosity

Saved this video for ages, because it's making the back of my neck tense in anticipation of how beautifully it illuminates the story of assembly for the e-Pi-i holography dimensionality coordination sequences. And I still think Feynman knew what Wheeler's One Electron Theory was about, but being an expert Teacher, kept it within reach of his Students.

I've been studying vibration for this past week and messing around with these equations, so a lot of this is very recognizable at the moment. What a nice coincidence that this video comes out now, as it's answering a few questions I've been having 😅

The animations are always so satisfying. Goes right to the heart of a visual thinker

This channel is a treasure that keeps on giving

A lot of physics and math Extremely well explained, and compressed in 29m. Please more!

This is a perfect video that explains not only the dissemination of knowledge ("on high" vs. explained) and the nature of light at the quantum layer

Dude - you do such an excellent job here. I created a playlist about index of refraction, and you cover it all, and with the correct and quantitative explanation for every aspect of it.

Excellent job. I've seen a few people have a go at this explanation and no one came close to the clarity or thoroughness of this.

One of the greatest videos ive seen in a while. Huge thanks from France

I've been watching your videos for around 5 years. They inspired me to pursue my major. I have now graduated. I rarely see channels continue to make such good content consistently for over half a decade. Thank you.

Just beautifully explained! I must confess that I never knew how a prism works, even after all those physics lessons and courses!
