Geometric Optics: Crash Course Physics #38
Season 1
Episode 38
Sunlight, moonlight, torchlight, and flashlight... They all come from different places, but they’re the very same thing: light! It’s what makes it possible for us to see the world around us, so it’s worth a close, hard look. For instance, how does light travel? When you flip that switch in the bathroom to brush your teeth, how does light move from the light bulb, to the mirror, and into your eyes?

Let's talk about astrophysics, cosmology and how our universe works.
10:19
Let's talk Einstein and Nuclear Physics. What does E=MC2 actually mean? Why is it useful?
9:02
Why is e=mc2 such a big deal? And what about this grumpy cat in a box and probability?
8:38
Shini introduces the idea of Quantum Mechanics and how it helps us understand light.
8:25
We've all heard of relativity, but what is it? How does it relate to light and motion?
9:56
Shini talks to us about optical instruments and how they make magnification possible.
8:21
We've learned about light and how to bend it to our will. But what can we LEARN from it?
9:41
Light's behavior seems counterintuitive. That is, until you figure out light is a wave.
Maxwell's Equations tell us a lot about electromagnetic interactions and physics.
9:53
We've talked about how AC circuits change voltage, but let's take a deeper look.
8:18
Getting power at home is pretty amazing – and much more complicated than it may seem.
9:03
Megneto helps Shini explain how induction works and why magnetism seems so complicated.
