@@ScienceShorts Some say that WHAT IS the electron is not a fundamental PARTICLE, and that what is the photon is a fundamental PARTICLE. CLEARLY, this is unsubstantiated nonsense. Balanced inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE is FUNDAMENTAL with regard to what is the electron AND what is the photon, AS they are BOTH inherently, CLEARLY, AND NECESSARILY structureless ON BALANCE. ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY AND NECESSARILY proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE). By Frank DiMeglio
Not going to lie, you make me want to keep on revising for my physics exams.
If the world had more teachers like you teaching in our schools, then we'd all be noble prize winners
my teacher literally forgot to teach me this and my qualifying exams are in a week.... And you just taught me at least a week's worth of lessons in almost 14 minutes. Your amazing. Keep it up.
I don't usually leave comments but this is a really well-produced video, the physics knowledge is also more in-depth than most of the videos I've seen on this topic. Suprised this channel only has 14k subs.

Why is physics so satisfying? Every time I wonder about something with physics, there's a perfect explanation and that explanation just clicks inside my mind. Ahhhhh...
Me after teacher explained this: *de excitation* Me after seeing this video : *excitation*
not exaggerating.... but these videos made me understand things the my teacher take 2 hrs to explain and usually takes 2 to 3 classes to finish... in just 10 to 15 mins.... these are life saviour... I love physics ....and my teacher is a good teacher and I mostly understand him but sometimes it takes my teacher ages and sometimes it flies over my head a few times I thought of quitting physics.. thank you for making my life easier.....
Your a really good teacher, i actually ended watching the whole video even though the answer i wanted was already answered.
Preparing for my ocr a2 physics on 20/05/19. You are the best teacher ever. My physics teacher at school spent a couple weeks on this I didn't get it at all, your 13 minute video on 2x speed (bit rushed for time!) cleared it all up. THANK YOU! omg!!
This has to be the best explanation of this particular topic I ever heard,❤️
This video is incredible. Understood a concept I’ve been struggling with for a long time in a matter of five minutes. This channel is brilliant

Thanks for the video, helped a lot.
thank you very much sir for your teaching, I have mainly 2 questions : 1- (Fluorescent tube experience) when the electrons excite the gaz's electrons and after these electrons give back their energy by emiting photons, there should be a lot of different lights absorbed by the coating! Among these lights there are a group that won't be absorbed by the coating and there are some that will be absorbed. the coating's electrons will be emitting another bunch of lights so my reseaning is there will be a lot differents lights emitting (in differents slap of time) why do we see just one of them ? is our brain tricking us? 2- why after a electron absorb an energy they prefer to release it as soon as possible? my reseaning is there a loss of enegy somehow ! what the source of these loss of energy i don't now! Thank you very much in advance
At 6:18 , is there anything that prompts the photon to be remitted for the the electron to go down an energy level or is it a random process? Also, thanks for the video! It's clearing up a lot of small things that I couldn't quite place together.

it's pretty much spontaneous, the electron will almost immediately de-excite unless it has escaped the atom. The only thing that varies is how it de-excites, whether it goes straight back to the ground state or if it drops to an intermediate energy level first. I am not too sure what determines which path the electron takes when de-exciting though
Excellent, thank you!
Ur videos are too good. thanks.

Well done great explanation :)
At 6:42 How about if incoming photon have energy at 6 eV ? Do the electron at ground state excite to 5 eV ? And how about remaining energy 1 eV where it's gone? Do they transform to another form of energy ? And what the remaining 1 eV energy will be? Thank you for your clear and nice presentation.
Thank you for the help
You're the best sir!
Thank you very much ❤😊
Very Helpful it was
Excellent!
Super useful!
So can an electron be in an energy level other than the ground state and if so, is this more likely to be ionised and leave the atom. Could it also move down the energy levels or is the process just very quick and assumed to start from ground level? Where does the photon go from here- after de-excitiation?
Shouldn’t the ground state be -13.606 eV?
Hey, cool vids and presentation. Do hot gases and cold gases have anything to do with absorption and emission spectra?
@austinnicholson1233
7 ай бұрын
Yes they do partially, when cool gas atoms are absorbed by photons they excite and the gas atoms become hot , when they de-excite they cool down again. Correct me if im wrong i am only learning this myself for the first time
Thank you
when the electron jumps to a higher sate is it jumping between whole shells, or between the subshells of its current shell?
Should the gas inside of the florescent light bulb be ionized gas? if so, how the coming electrons interacts with the gas molecules electrons ? If not, how the coming electrons are passing through the gas ? Since we need ionized gas (plasma) to have electrons travel through the gas ?

Really interesting video, thank you. But it raises a few questions for me: (1) In your example with energy levels of 0, 5, 7, 8, if a photon with energy of 6eV is encountered, does it push an electron up to the 5eV state? What would happen to the remaining 1eV? (2) Since there are only a finite number of elements in existence and therefore a finite number of possible energy states, does this mean that light can only have a finite number of specific frequencies? If so, that would mean that there is not really a continuous spectrum of light. This seems wrong to me somehow.
General question abt the collision of electrons. So when an electron collides with another electron in the fluorescent tube, the energy of the knocked off electron from its energy level, is it kinetic energy? And if so does that mean that absorption energy (energy of photon absorbed by the electron) has a lesser magnitude than Kinetic energy? [Yes, I know absorption energy isn't a form of energy, i just used it as an adjective.]
Hello great video. just wondering why the mercury gas has to be at low pressure?
hi, so the electron can somehow detect that the photon doesnt give it enough energy to excite and so rejects it? Or does absorb and release the energy?
Hi great video! I had a question - if the photon has too much energy, will it be just ignored?
@faarishaque9142

Yeah. If it doesn't have the right energy for the electron, the photon just "passes through"
I think you missed out that if the electron is given 6eV of energy, it won't absorb the photon because energy levels are discreet, great video though, really helpful content!

So is ionisation energy the same as work function?

Sir you are a 🐐
I understand that a photon will move up if it gains a photon but then won't it lose energy in the process of going up?? Plz explain
Hello, just wondering, what would happen if the energy of the photon was equal to 6eV? Would the interaction not take place, enabling the photon to go straight through? Or would the electron go to the 2nd shell and not the 3rd? And, if so, what would happen to that remaining eV, would it be emitted as a photon or what? Thank you
hi there, just a question regarding 9:02 , why did you use E = to 5 eV? isnt the electron dropping from n= 7 to the ground state? and the energy when it's excited is = to the energy when it drops down? thank you

Charlie Kake-White because he was only calculating the wavelength of the photon emitted from 5eV to 0eV level.
wouldn't the emission and absorption spectra have the same lines? what about excitation and de-excitation from intermediate lines: n=2, n=3.etc?
I owe you a lot
Is the ground state specific to an electron or is the ground state specific to an atom? Is the ground state just the energy level that an electron originally started from, and so it is specific to that electron? I.e. different electrons can each have a different ground state in the same atom. Is the ground state always the energy level denoted by n=1 or could it be n=2 or n=3 etc?
Love this explanation, thank you. One question - what happens if an inbound photon has 6ev? It has enough energy to jump to the 5eV level but there would be 1eV of energy left over?

Can you please make a video about Band Theory?
Are these energy levels the same as the s,p,d,f orbitals?
You said there would be more wavelength of light in the emission spectrum compared to the absorption spectrum, however, could electrons not be excited from a higher energy level than the ground state to an even higher one to produce the remaining wavelengths of light seen in the emission spectrum?

Skitzzy they would've de excited by the time another photon would hit it when its at the higher energy level. Basically, de excitation is instantaneous unless it’s at its metastable state
@elliotskunk

even so, more emissions would still be seen. Remember that the electron can dexcite through many routes, emitting a variety of different photons. For each excitation there is more than one emission (except for n = 1 --> n = 2 of course)
In your example, if a photon had 6 eV and crossed paths with an electron, would it excite the electron to the 5 eV state or just pass straight through?
@ruvindrigunawardena3369

It would excite to the 5eV state as it only has 6eV s. For it to excite to the energy level above 5eV (in this case 7eV state) it needs exactly 7eV s. hope this helps :)

This is false, if the Photon doesn't have the exact amount of energy required to move up an energy level it will pass through, e.g If it has 6eV, as it isn't 5 or 7 nothing will happen and there will be no excitation
video number 2. 2 days before exam
why the photon is released when the electron moves from n=2 to n=3?
So what's the rule for ionization? Any photon with energy greater than the upmost shell will ionize? And what happens to the excess energy? Is it tuned into kinetic energy of the electron? And if the energy of the exciting photon is within shell boundaries but does not match exactly any of the shell energy levels, will it just pass through without any interaction?
