    Thanks for your nice comment. I'm glad you like the intuition. I think it's so important to have different ways of thinking about mathematical equations and operations.

    Excellent video! Nyquist sampling theorem says that if you want to figure out how fast the bike tire is moving (frequency) and which direction it's moving, you need to sample it at least twice as fast as it is spinning. Sample slower than that and it'll look like the wheel is spinning backwards, even when it's spinning forward. You won't be able to tell if the wheel is spinning forward at f_nyquist + delta or f_nyquist - delta. This is aliasing where the spectrum "folds back" onto itself about the Nyquist sampling rate. Some designs actually rely on sampling in higher Nyquist regions, though it requires a high pass filter or band pass filter to guarantee that there is no frequency content below that Nyquist region. Otherwise you will get an aliased spectrum.

    And this is why we need motion blur in videos; to reduce aliasing. Though to get rid of the aliasing all together we'd need at least a 720 degrees shutter which unfortunately is physically impossible, and it would also make everything looking a bit to smooth.

    Thank you for making so many wonderful videos. An example I like to use involves an ordinary clock with hour and minute hands. If we look at the clock every 11 hours, then the hour hand will appear to move backward 1 hour. Similarly for the minute hand if we observe it too infrequently it too will appear to move strangely. And many other false or aliased outcomes occur by sampling too infrequently as you have so nicely demonstrated.

    Hello professor, I really appreciate your special explanation. But, what I am still confused about is the phase reversal. With ALIASING, the wheel looks rotating backward because of its angular freq.. But, the textbook said it is because of the phase reversal and I cannot understand it. Could you please explain the relationship between backward spinning of the wheel and the phase reversal?

Just because i took electronics in graduation ? How should i see the physics behind it to use it in daily life

    Any continuous time signal (eg. voice signals, music, temperature changes, ...) and any analog image (video, photos, ...) that is stored on a computer or digital camera or memory stick or hard drive ... has been sampled. Basically sampling happens in anything in daily life that is controlled or measured by a digital system / computer.
