Almost all white things are white because of scattering. You can do really cool things by playing with refractive index to dial up or down the amount of scattering, you can even make things disappear. It's how a Buddha Board works!

There is a technique in animal and organ preparation called Spalteholz preparation. By matching the refracting index of the conservation fluid and the outer layer of the object the object becomes translucent. So you can study the inner parts of your object without a section. It's called after its inventor Werner Spalteholz and I don't know if it's known outside Germany.
Interesting!
@@SteveMould when I once visited the medical history museum of the Charité Hospital in Berlin, Germany 10 years ago, I saw such preparations of animals or parts of them, where as much of the body fluids as possible where exchanged by the preparation fluid, so the tissues became more or less translucent, and I remember taking pictures of it, but sadly I don't find them anymore.
I've seen specimens preserved by diaphanization, that make the exterior transparent. Do you know if it's a similar technique?
That's smart!
@@piteoswaldo yes, I look it up and that's the proper English term for that preservation technique.

I was about to comment that it could be similar to the silica gel plates used in labs for thin layer chromatography, although, it will not show UV fluorescence (probably)
@@Kanitoxx A fluorescence check could be really interesting actually. Silica doesn't fluoresce on its own but there are a bunch of different additives that make that make TLC plates UV active. On top of that, one of the primary means of seeing a spot under UV light is the material in question de-activating the fluorescent material - basically canceling out the additive. Ooh, and there's the fact that pure quartz is somewhat opaque to UV...
So what makes lsd fluoresce when dropped on blotter paper? Or why does Peruvian flake (fish scale) cocaine also fluoresce when its the exact same chemical extracted from a plant but just extracted with acetone to separate it from the plant fats? Lsd is perfectly clear and so is cocaine when in liquid state except lsd will evaporate rather than condense into the powder form we see cocaine to be...
6:30 We actually know very well why!
A *Colloïd* is simply a name given to any object that has a size from 1nm to 1µm.
When you shake water and oil together you are creating droplet of oils that are colloïds! Colloïds are unstable by nature because of surface tension. Oil droplets will naturally do two things:
1) If they are less dense than water, *rise up to the surface*
2) *Merge into bigger droplets* , because bigger droplets are more stable in regards to surface tension
For your colloïd suspension to be stable you therefore have to counteract both effects.
1) is easy. A particular property of colloïds is that they are so *small* , that natural random movement that all molecules have become non negligible. Therefore if the speed at which they rise up to the surface due to archimedes is lower or equal to the speed of their random movement, they won't rise and will fill the whole volume, like a molecule would. This is mainly dependent on their size, the *smaller* they are, the more they *diffuse* and the less they rise.
2) Is harder but essential. Surface tension will merge any colloid suspension, unless you have particular molecules that stabilize the suspension. Which is the case in your alcohol! *Proteins* , soaps, surfactants,... any molecule that has a *hydrophilic and a lipophilic* part will place themselves at the *boudaries* of these tiny droplets, *reduce surface tension* , and make the droplets repel each other, therefore they will stay small and never merge.
It is a well studied phenomenon, especially in *biology and pharmacology* , where you often want *oily molecules to be suspended in a water solution* for delivery, and you don't want your medicine to divide into a fine layer of high concentrated oily molecules and a deep layer of useless water.
I followed most of that, but did you mean to say archimedes? If so, can you explain what that means? Or, if it was an autocorrect error, which word did you intend?
Btw, thank you for the detailed explanation, it's very informative.
@@chawndel8279 I meant by that the resulting force from buoyancy and gravity which is sometimes referred to as archimedes push in french idk if you guys use that. you're welcome
"Therefore if the speed at which they rise up to the surface due to archimedes is lower or equal to the speed of their random movement, they won't rise and will fill the whole volume" But the random movement cancels itself out in all directions, so it will still have the added force of buoyancy lifting it.
Colloids were a bit part of my job when I was making biofuel, and one problem we struggled with was, regardless of size, the particles would eventually separate even with an emulsifying agent. I still don't think the company has a way of keeping the colloid submerged and colloidal without agitation.
Small droplets of oil suspended in water and stabilized with a surfactant are referred to as emulsions. A common emulsion that most people are familiar with is mayonnaise, which incidentally is white for the same reasons stated in the video.
@@imbored742But mayonnaise has a slight yellow color, I guess because of the egg yolks and/or oil it is made of right?
"titanium white" makes alot more sense now as a color name.
And the previously used white pigment was a lead compound, which is why there's lead in old paint.
You mean "titanium hwite"?
Most of the titanium mined is used to make paint.
my dad works with paint, and, one time, when I was bored, I found this color and I was like "wtf?" I asked him why it has this name, and he answered "I have no idea."
Now I get why it's named like this.
Toothpaste
We're a company that makes a hydrophobic coating designed to create art that appears when it rains. Our process relies on the fact that concrete gets darker when it gets wet. I've dug into why this happens several times but your video provided a more clear explanation than I've been able to find before, thank you!
Interestingly, hydrochromic paints list silica as an active ingredient, which is also an ingredient in our hydrophobic coating. It's wild that silica can act as a white-to-transparent ingredient as well as a hydrophobic ingredient. If you ever made a video about the stunningly varied applications of silica, I'd be extremely interested to see it!
I wonder how useful this is 2 years later, but the main difference is that hydrophobic silica isn't pure, it is bounded to hydrophobic agents. Meanwhile, silica/fused silica (i.e. quartz) has a refractive index closeish to water (water 1.333..., silica 1.5 down to 1.4 ish), while air is about 1.0, so you get less dispersion in water). Specially if the layer is thin.

The blue shower gel reminds me of how all mirrors are a tiny bit green, but you can only notice it from a really extreme angle
Regular plate glass is green. You can see if you look edge to edge. Front surface mirrors do not have the light pass through the glass (twice) and appear 'brighter' and do not have the loss of sharpness due to (multiple) reflections from the glass surface.
I used to work for a paint manufacturing company a while back and the TiO2 slurry was one of the most significant ingredients in the paints.
If you've ever watched hard candy making, like the stuff made by Greg from Lofty Pursuits here on CZcams (okay it's actually made at his shop in Tallahassee Florida but he puts the videos on CZcams) he makes white hard candy by pulling the molten candy on his stretching hook or his taffy pulling machine to aerate it and put a million tiny air bubbles in it.
That's so interesting. I learn so much from this guy. He is also the right amount of funny.

Uhhhhhh... yeah, that’s what I thought...
...I’ll take a shot
I love Ouzo, with a sugar cube and cold water, amazing stuff. If you freeze ouzo for long enough crystals will start to form inside as well, they're beautiful looking...
Came here to say this!
As a chef you get a sort of intuitive feel for when different oil emulsions will remain stable for certain periods of time. Alcohol, amphiphilic additives, ratio of oil to water, dissolved solids such as sugar and gelatin, all have different effects. Too complicated to write it all down so you just go by feel and experience. Anise based essential oils in liquors are a special one I don't have as much familiarity with since you can't really "cook" anything with that effect.
Speaking about presentations... It's just amazing how far you've come to make explaning such things look so easy... You're an idol Steve! Keep up the good work!
One test you can run on the theory is to foam up the shave gel and then form it into a long line of foam and then illuminate the foam from the far end, opposite the camera. The light it sees should be that which had to pass through a lot of the gel (hence, blue). You may need to put mirrors along the sides of the foam to redirect all of the scattered light back into the foam (or else you might see very little light making it all the way through the foam)
Good idea. Could probably squeeze it into a stainless steel straw and shine a flashlight through.

@@NathanButh spreading the religion
Must tile the plane
In metal polishing, we sometimes aim for the opposite of this effect. A "black" polished surface is so smooth that it no longer scatters any appreciable amount of light, acting like an almost perfect first-surface mirror. From certain angles it will appear completely black, because all of the incident light is reflected away from the viewer. It's most often seen on components in high-end mechanical watches, but we use the technique a lot for injection moulds for plastic optical components.
Here after Hexagons are the Bestagons and I couldn't stop seeing 120° angles in the bubble cross-section! Super cool to see
Hi Steve, I would guess that this hydrochromic image is just coated with silica gel or something like that. Maybe you want to test this: Take an image, apply spray glue on it and dust some silica powder over it. Maybe it is something with an RI even closer to water instead of silica, but ... just a guess.

What an easy man to listen to. Great information on curious subjects delivered in a very pleasant way. Top stuff! This gentleman has the hallmarks of a great educator.
I think my favorite example bubbles scattering light is with candy. To make white hard candy you take molten sugar and folder over itself continuously, essentially folding air bubbles into the candy which lightens the color. (The same works for turning a- say- dark blue colored candy into a light blue candy.)
For being a wave, the photon particle has a very physical way of interacting with the environment

Loving the Nate Dogg/Warren G reference... Regulators! Mount up...
Just comment surfing for this! Further trivia; Nate Dog and Warren G sampled it from the movie, Young Guns.
But the question is, where did that microscope thing in the background went at around 01:34?!
It went here 8:35
And here 9:58
It got wet, changing its refractive index.
I really like how you don’t avoid answering the questions that may arise from the concepts you present
This was a great explanation on transparency of the materials and white color apparience on matters, better than other explanations like electrons jumpimg to different orbitals. Thank you for all.
In the foam, the amount of light that reaches the inside of the material is lower because there are so many surfaces that reflect light before enough thickness of the material is encountered. Less light reaching the gel means less red & green light is absorbed. Also, the total brightness reaching the eye is higher, so the remaining blue photons are more diluted
This was cool but can you explain glue? it's white when it's wet but gets transparent when it dries, how?
Interesting question! Mind if I take a guess? In a water based glue, the adhesive agent may be emulsified in the water in a similar way to the essential oils described in the video. The particles scatter light against the water because they have a different refractive index. However, once the glue dries there is no water between the adhesive and the light travels through.
tl;dr The water makes it very cloudy but when the water evaporates, the glue becomes clear.
Science!
@@blackmber that's a smart guess, I never thought about that
When I was a kid, we used to break our crayons, put them in our Elmer's glue, and then shake them to make the glue change colors. Years later, that became an actual product you could buy in stores. LOL
It doesn't dry clear if you use too much, and it's only barely clear when you use the right amount.
Pernod or pastis in general does eventually become clear. Just like any emulsion, eventually it separates into two layers. That said in pernod there is only little "oil", these insoluble particules might form micelles or other arrangements that stabilise the emulsion form
I was just talking about something along these lines with a friend last Sunday morning. Glad I subd, gotta keep the gears turning up top.

@@javierhualde739 how is everyone so smart jees they even thought about that one too
I guess the lipids in the perno (or however is called) have some kind of polar molecules that eventually make a little ball around the insoluble lipids so that it separates the lipids from the water. A similar thing happens in your blood to transport cholesterol and fatty acids. (They are called ldl hdl and quilomicrons, all of them being lipoptroteins) i dont know this for sure but it makes sense for me. Edit: turns out perno is not aromatic oil (as i assumed) so probably this is not the reason, the video, specially comparing it to the emulsion of oil in water made me confused
they use aniseed resin, which crystallises when water is added, see also - ouzo.
@@kindisc oh yes, i didnt know what perno was and i understood from the video that it was aromatic oil. My bad

Really neat, thank you! Any ideas why some plastics turn white as you deform them? (i.e. plastically deform usually)

I believe the stress creates tiny voids in the material, which scatter light in the way described in this video.
I am glad someone asked this question

7:10 sounds a bit dodgy if you had frosted glass showers
Now explain Elmer's glue. White when wet, dries clear. 🤔
Something in the wet glue is suspended in various orientations, scattering the light, but orients into a shared direction when it solidifies, making it transparent?
Edit: Another comment I found hypothesized that the adhesive being emulsified in the water scatter light while suspended in the water, but when the water evaporates, it becomes less refractive.
@@duodot The second one makes more sense to me in the context of this video. I don't think it has anything to do with alignment, because then I would think it would only be clear from one angle (or 2 parallel angles).
3rd option: magic.
@@stupidgenius107 Yeah, seems so to me as well. I work with metals, so crystal formations was the first thing to pop knto my head lol
And that is why you need to polish the metal samples before you can see their structure under the microscope. Now it makes sense to me.
6:20 I did a little controlled experiment: turns out ethanol helps stabilise oil in small droplet in water, turning the water cloudy.
Maybe the ethanol molecules act like amphiphiles ("ethan" part towards the oil, "ol" part towards the water). A bit like soap dispersing the oil throughout the water.
Maybe it prevents coalescing of the oil because the ethanol layer needs energy to be broken.
Great Video! It is great to see that such simple seeming things can have such a rich and interesting explanation. One point however, where I had the feeling that you were rushing over, is the fact why the scattering is the same for all wavelengths. Just the fact of a rough/non-smooth surface and that, for the bubbles, you have refraction from inside the foam does not seem to me as enough of an explanation as to why all frequencies are scattered equally. Could you point me to some literature/site which explains that in more detail?
Ahhhh! I tried replicating what he was doing and got a bunch of photons in my eyes.
I hadn't heard of Buddha Board before, but when you described it, my mind immediately jumped to frosted glass. I own a frosted glass chess set (half the squares/pieces are clear glass, half are frosted), and after I had used it a fair amount I found the glass had a lot of fingerprints on it and I wanted to clean it. I got a damp cloth and wiped it down, and much to my surprise all of the squares disappeared. Sure enough as it dried, the frosting came right back.
Absolutely the best pronunciation of skl.sh I've ever heard. Five stars.
I appreciate the correct use of the plural of index.
You should try adding Pernod to heavy water, Deuterium, and see if it separates out then
Why?
@@sageinit Because the droplets did not coalesce in normal water and he stated "nobody knows why" so by changing 1 parameter (the density and not the chemical reactions associated) we can possibly gain a step towards understanding why.
Apparently, all sunscreen lotions I've checked have Titanium Dioxide in their composition... Is this scattering responsible for their UV protection?
Partially, yes. The whole point in sunscreen is to be opaque to UV. Most sunscreens that I've seen appear black on a UV image, so it would appear they absorb the light, but I have seen some that reflect the majority of the light.
@@GuyNamedSean maybe the black ones have the oxide.to.make them white
@@GuyNamedSean Yeah, physics girl and veritasium if I remember correctly looked at different sunscreens with a UV camera and some do reflect instead of absorb the UVR.
Well, if it looks white, that just means it scatters the visible part of the spectrum. I'm guessing it probably absorbs UV so that it doesn't reach your skin cells.
