The mud and asphalt analogy was FUCKING BRILLIANT
@toxin1662

@pyropulse Well I always thought analogies are useful to demonstrate how things behave, not why they behave the way they do. I.e now I understand that a light ray which is refracted behaves similarly to how a truck which drives through mud would behave. In my mind the quality of an analogy is determined by it's accessibility and not it's descriptiveness or detail. Of course you could call this blindly going along with something but I call it trusting the person making the analogy. If you don't want to give them the benefit of the doubt, fine but why do you give it to any other source of information then? After all isn't the metric by which you determine what and whom to trust also defined by things you have trusted in the past? So to me it seems you'll have to blindly go along with things either way if you want to do anything at all.

@pyropulse I don't know how far you are in your field of study, but you'll realize at some point that everything in physics is some sort of analogy for reality, even down to the most elaborated mathematical descriptions. We don't have a perfect theory for anything yet, all we have are better and better approximations, and all that matters is how useful these approximations are. In the present case the truck analogy isn't even a bad one, as you usually use plannar waves to demonstrate refraction with the wave description of light, and these plannar waves have a spacial width All of this is to say that i disagree with you, analogies are incredibly useful, as long as you know their limitations, and that is also true for any actual theory on anything

@pyropulse Well yeah, F=ma is a pretty powerful tool to study the motion of point-like bodies. But every time you use it to study the effects of gravity, you are using the fact that Gravity is **analogous** to a force, while we know now of a better description for them in the form of the theory of relativity, which doesn't involve a force. You could also plug this formula with a centrifugal force, but you need to remember that the effects of that force are **analogous** to the effects of a non-Inertial frame of reference. It's still a fictious force.
@LucVignolles
Жыл бұрын
@pyropulse so from the point of view of someone preferring inertial frames of reference, those forces are an analogy, a perfect one actually, meaning that the underlying math is the same and you'll get the same results. I guess that's what you mean here by real In the case of the truck here, it's useful to get intuitive understanding of why simply changing the speed of propagation of something can alter it's direction. Nothing more than that Not powerful enough to get mathematical results, sure, but better than nothing when explaining to someone with little understanding of the wave like properties of light Would you have been happy if instead then analogy with mechanical waves had been used ?

Honestly this is the best video that explains how focus and focal length works
What a great video! I can only imagine that you have a career in teaching, since you are great at explaining complex matters, so that they appear simple!
I'm reading up on visual perception for a cognitive psychology class. This was very helpful to get me around the basics of how our visual system works. Also made me realize how much our eyes (and our bodies and our brains) are doing so much work. Thank you very much for this content! 🎉
Very nicely written and produced! Optics is a vast subject, and it’s mysterious to most people. But , you have demystified it and distilled it down to just 12 entertaining minutes. I’m really looking forward to what you have to say about x-Ray optics. Bravo!
The focus and Lenses part really clicked with me as too why we only dealt with point sources, I just never knew that was all that was needed! Thanks for the nostalgia!

I’m 53. I wish I had seen this when I was 15 during my first physics class, if for no other reason than to grasp why images can be inverted. The use of animation to help reinforce a concept, along with this brilliant description of the concept, is astounding to me. Using this as an example, if I don’t get a fundamental understanding of optical inversion, I’ll end up with 38 years of difficulty with geometric optics. But if/when I get a grasp of the basics at an almost intuitive level, building upon that knowledge is possible. Nice work.

The reason why in your everyday life you don't notice things becoming blurry in the distance is because your brain tricks you in a few ways. Firstly your eye is actually never standing still, it's constantly darting all over to scan your FOV, it's just so fast and the movements are so minor that you don't consciously notice and your brain just sorta edits it out. Secondly your brain will just remember what a place looked like the last time you focused on it and just keep that there, so to you it looks like it's still in focus. Lastly your brain doesn't necessarily need to have your eyes focused on an object to recognize what it is, it's really good at recognizing objects and as such will just reconstruct them even from a blurry image and make it look sharp to you. This however is also the basis of most visual illusions and is why you often have the experience of thinking you saw something out of the corner of your eye only to look and see it's something totally different, especially when you think you see someone. Your brain is especially biased towards recognizing humans and especially faces and as such will often wrongly see them and insert them into places where they aren't. The fact that we experience the world as basically unconstrained by the limits of optics, unless you use glasses, has also presented a huge issue for movie makers. Cameras of course can't do any of these things and when we watch a movie we just see it on a 2D plane were we don't need to bother focusing at all. For a long time therefore movie makers did everything to avoid having visible blur because it looked unnatural or were very careful about making the audience not notice it, early on in the history of cinema it also tended to be the goal to avoid calling attention to the fact that someone was watching a movie. Later on however that taboo was broken and movie makers started using focus and blur as an active tool, it's fairly common for example to focus on an object in the foreground to only later reveal the background when something happens in it. This also lead to media which never had this issue in the first place to reverse engineer the effect, animation and games of course never had to deal with focus since the scene is rendered as a 2D image, but methods to replicate the action of a lens were found in order to utilize similar effects.

This was great. I find it interesting to zoom in on a jpeg of an aircraft. I really , really like airplanes and have trained myself to recognize a lot of them from most angles, even when the image is only of a small part of the entire craft - much like your description of humans being able to easily recognize faces. Anyway, what I find interesting is after zooming in until the image is so pixelated it’s not recognizable, I’ll zoom back out until my brain recognizes the airplane. Then my brain somehow replaces the poor quality image from that’s in my memory, and my recollection of the airplane will be clear and in the orientation of it in the image.

I always thought refraction in glass occurs because light as an electromagnetic wave is an object that follows the laws of quantum theory and thus, is forced to take the fastest way, which isn't straight because then it needed to travel all the way through the glass, along the hypothenuse. So it needs to go a longer distance through the air before entering the glass at an angle closer to the normal, reducing the length of the hypothenuse and therefore the distance it has to travel through the glass. I learned that in a physics book adressed to 12 year olds, nevertheless, I honestly think that this explanation sounds way more convenient than the "light is driving around a corner with the outer tires turning faster than the inner ones" one.
@ImprobableMatter

Yes, the more advanced explanation is that the path is the fastest, due to the difference in electric permittivities between glass and air.
What I find amazing is lenses evolved in nature to the level of sharpness we and other mammals and birds can see.

In principle, it can be as large as you like. In reality, it's to do with how big your optic is, how big your detector is, the housing and so on.
Question: If in a telescope I have two eyepieces with different focal lengths. One has 20mm focal length while another is at 10mm, with the 10mm supposedly producing greater magnification but with a narrower field of field. The trouble is I don’t know why it is like that- why does the 10mm focal length produce greater magnification but is limited to a narrower field of view. I would assume it’s to do with the shape of the lens having more curvature and thus refracting power, but I don’t know how this links in with seeing a larger image. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Great video, I learned a bit. Im still fuzzy on what the aperture’s actual function is in a modern camera. Does it serve the same function as an adjustable pinhole box? I just feel like the function has to be different when lenses are in play.
@ImprobableMatter
7 ай бұрын
First of all, your camera has to have some size of aperture - it can't be infinitely big or infinitely small. The reason to adjust the size of an aperture on a modern camera (it has lenses to focus the light, no need to use the pinhole effect) is to adjust how much light is getting in and therefore how bright the image is. If the image is too bright, it might saturate and everything becomes washed out. If the image is too dark, you can't see anything.
@cdelapaz5
7 ай бұрын
For some reason I feel like im missing some simple stupid principle that I cant wrap my brain around. So I appreciate the explanations. I do get that the aperture blocks light and how it affects shutter speed and all that. However it somehow affects focal length right? because then you widen the aperture, you get that blurry effect behind your subject, basically you narrow your “in focus” range.
@ImprobableMatter
7 ай бұрын
You're not wrong to be confused, there is something I didn't get to in this video called "depth of field". It's not the focal length, but it is to do with what happens to objects that aren't quite in focus. A smaller aperture means things away from the focal point are clearer (but the whole image is dimmer).
fiberoptics would be fascinating to know more about simci it is the very medium this data is sent thru 🤩
@ronjon7942

Well, only the binary data is sent; actually all kinds of channels are able to be sent through fibre due to its incredible capacity for bandwidth. It’s only after a computer reassembles this binary data and decodes it into an image…or text, or video, or etc….that you’ll see on the display. Fibre optics use optical laws to transfer data, but it’s still just a type of medium for data transfer - just like a wired or wireless connection also passes digital data.
Great video! I just have a question that I can't quite comprehend. Imagine I have a telescope which consists of two convex lenses, and I'm trying to image the moon. Since the moon is basically at "infinite distance" (relatively to the objective, i.e. the lens closest to the moon), a real image of the moon is created at the focal length of the objective. Firstly, I don't understand how big this image actually is, since the magnification formula says that M=-d_i/d_o, and d_o is huge (the distance of the moon) while d_i is equal to f (say 200mm). So the magnification should be an extremely number, right?. Then, a second lens is used to create a second image of this first image. Lastly, my eyeball effectively acts as another lens and can look at this second image after the eyepiece and supposedly it should appear enlarged. Why does the image appear enlarged? Have I made some wrong assumptions? Thank you!
@ImprobableMatter
2 жыл бұрын
Have a look at an example like this: www.livephysics.com/problems-and-answers/optics/lens-system-image-distance-magnification/ For the moon, you might as well set the distance to the object to infinity. The magnification applies if you put a digital camera detector (CCD) at the final image plane. Just imagine your entire eye is the same as the detector (you can consider another system with a third lens if you like, but you'll get the same answer).
Whatever your undertaking may be, good optics are paramount.
