    6:01 it is worth noting that some animals can actually see light polarisation, eg. some insects recognise polarised light and use this ability to detect pools of water (its surface reflects light with horizontal polarization more strongly than with vertical polarisation), kinda like they were wearing polarised sunglasses.
    Fun fact is that even some humans have very limited ability to see polarisation - look for "Haidinger's brush".

      Yeah, and I believe all humans can, in fact: it's how cells are oriented, and they grow in about the same weakly directional pattern in everyone. More likely, people just not all trying hard enough. Can you, BTW? I wear contacts, and still see the cross, although taking lenses off helps, as you don't need to focus on the screen plane, it has no details to focus on anyway. I described how to see it on a desktop computer monitor in a top comment here: czcams.com/video/V_jYXQFjCmA/video.html&lc=UgyT8i5Gual_nWh53qZ4AaABAg (and the bonus, unrelated to polarisation bright-white screen effect, as you're already there 😃).

      @@mituskitchenhouse7966 Because from the reference frame of the charge in motion, there will be a spatial contraction of everything else from its own perspective. This effectively creates a difference or change in the concentration of charge between itself and whatever it is moving relative to, which ultimately means a net force will act upon it. From a third person perspective, it is what we call the magnet field and the force it induces on other charges. Charges have the intrinsic property that is the electric field, but because of special relativity the magnetic field exist as well, which will propagate perpendicularly to the electric field.

      Such as: 8:44 just like how the sky is blue during the day, due to blue light scattering everywhere. During the morning and evening, all that scattering of blue light means it won't be able to reach the 'edge' of the planet. Causing the morning and evening to appear red/orange. Wich we all know as a sunrise or sunset.

      Great content, to be sure. But there was a stone left unturned. There was absolutely no mention of quantum mechanics/QED, which is the more fundamental understanding of why all of these phenomena happen. He only described the old classic models and made no passing mention that deeper understandings have been developed over the last 150 years. There are many, many questions the classical picture presented in this video fails to answer. For instance, if light always travels at lightspeed, then how can we say it slows down in certain media? There was massive stone left unturned, and the name of that stone is photon.

    Wow! I am 50 years of age now and from the age I went to, what was called Middle Technical School or MTS here) I had majors in Chemistry, electrical engineering / technology , physics, mathematics and all. Every major educated their own little part of the whole story and up till now I haven't seen a combined basic explanation like this which should be the basis of all above mentioned majors! Why, because your video literally gives a concrete understanding about the foundation of all that's teached and how all the bits you learn is actually just one basic fact about particles, matter, how this behaves and what follows as a consequence out of this fundamental behavior. In my quest to such an explanation as I wanted to now exactly this, people only repeated what was said in school or evade an answer by saying that it is to complicated to explain. And here you are (!) doing it in twelve and a half minutes! This basis shows also what I already thought for years and just recently showcased by the wonderful youtube channel Veritasium by Derek Muller. That, in electrical current, it's actually the electric-magnetic waves that carry the energy and not the flow of electrons, because electrons hardly flow anywhere! They just pass on the electric energy to their neighbor and the electro-magnetic field which they create through the excitation brings the energy over to the other side. That's why the material of the wire, their width, wheter it's a bigger solid core or separate strands and isolation can make a huge difference in how that current or signal is distorted or not. Also, as all matter interacts with each other through their electro-magnetic fields, no matter how significant. As such, we, as a big lump of matter, radiate the combined and averaged result of all the matter we exist off and unconsciously influence each other fields. Most people would say that the influence is so insignificant that we would even notice it, but it would explain a lot of phenomena in which people "sense" something that they can't explain like somebodies mode, intentions or why sometimes you feel attracted to somebody who, physically, at first appearance wouldn't attract your attention. Maybe a bit far off, but not in the basic sense of this fundamental physics fact. Long story short, Incredible how you managed to bring this subject so clear and yet in such a short amount of time!! Thank you so much! ☺🙏

    These videos are absolutely fantastic! I could honestly listen to and watch a ScienceClic video about this for hours... I'm always introduced to things through these videos that I had no idea about. I learned the basic information, like reflection and refraction, but I never learned about their inner workings. And some things, like why the sky is blue, have been answered elsewhere, but this explanation is still unique and gets more into the physics behind it. (I would have liked to have seen info about red sunsets as well... Maybe in a future video...) The worst parts about your videos are when you say things like "Finally" or "To sum up". I just don't want them to end so soon!

    I had some questions which maybe you could address in a future video:
    1. You said that when a charged particle moves, it produces both electric and magnetic waves, but didn't mention why it has to be particularly accelerated, because I had studied in high school that moving charges produces only magnetic field when at a constant velocity, and accelerated charges produce em waves.
    2. Why does it actually bend during refraction? I slows down because the field interact with the atoms inside it, but why bend? I mean what is the mathematical equation behind it. Huygen's principle can explain it but it doesn't explain from the perspective of the atoms.
    I have an engineering degree but didn't study physics after school, so I watch these videos, and would like to thank you for the quality content you put out here.

      1. Any particle moving in constant motion is stationary in its own reference frame. By the equivalence principle, no energy is radiated.
      2. It's a consequence of the wavelength changing from one medium to another. The wave must change direction to ensure continuity of the field across the interface. This can also be understood as a consequence of momentum conservation.
