Acronym for "Yet Another Light and Intensity Attribute Narrative"
Hat
The measurement of Light in terms of its perceived brightness to the human eye
Intensity of Light
Quantitative expression of the brightness of light
Brightness of Light
Qualitative expression of light intensity, a visual perception in which a light source appears visible
Brightness of Light
Depends on the source and the distance from it, but is subjective and dependent on the person's perception
Luminous intensity
The quantitative measurement of the brightness of light, with the unit of candela
The unit "candela" came from the fact that one candle can approximately represent the amount of visible radiation emitted by a candle flame
The speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second, or approximately 3 x 10^8 meters per second
Photons
The smallest unit of visible light, a form of energy
Sources of light
Natural: Sun
Artificial: Lamp, Candle, Light bulb
Isaac Newton
Light behaves like a particle
Louis De Broglie
Light can be a particle and a wave
Christian Huygens
Light behaves like a wave
James Clerk Maxwell
Electromagnetic theory of light
Dual Nature
Light has both particle nature and wave nature
Amplitude
The measure of the energy the wave carries
Colors
The different colors of visible light have specific frequencies and wavelengths, with red having the longest wavelength and violet having the shortest wavelength
Dispersion
The phenomenon in which a prism separates white light into component colors
Light
A form of energy that travels in electromagnetic waves
Light intensity
The power of light, the quantity that measures the amount of light illuminating a surface
Photometry
The branch of science that measures the intensity or brightness of light
The origin of light was the moment of first light in the universe, between 240,000 and 300,000 years after the big bang, known as the "Eve of Recombination"
Historical views on the nature of light
Aristotle: Light is something that goes through the space between the eye and the object
Pythagoras: Light is made of fine particles coming from a luminous object
Plato and Euclid: Light is something given off by the eye
Empedocles: Light is a very high-speed wave
Christian Huygens: Light is a wave propagating in either direction
Isaac Newton: Light consists of tiny particles emitted by a luminous object
Max Planck: Light can be a particle or a wave
James Clerk Maxwell: Light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum
There are two different types of energy explored in previous videos: sound energy and light energy, which also exist in the form of waves.
In this video, we will explore heat energy and how heat transfer can occur.
When the woman fills the mug with boiling coffee, the mug and the metal spoon will feel hotter.
The mug and metal spoon feel hotter
Because of heat transfer
Thermal energy
The energy possessed by an object or system due to the movement of particles within the object or the system
Heat
The energy that is transferred from a body with a higher temperature to a body with a lower temperature
Temperature
The relative hotness or coldness of an object, measured by a thermometer
The three common temperature scales are Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.
The SI unit for heat is Joules.
The natural flow of heat is always from a hotter substance to a colder substance or from a substance with a higher temperature to a substance with a lower temperature.
Heat transfer
It is the process where thermal energy is exchanged between two objects due to their temperature differences.
The three methods of heat transfer
Conduction
Convection
Radiation
Conduction
Heat transfer between objects that are in contact with each other, where heat energy is directly transferred through a material.
Good conductors of heat
Silver
Copper
Steel
Aluminum
Insulators
Materials that transfer heat poorly
Convection
Heat transfer through the circulation of liquid and gas, where energy is transferred by the rising or sinking of matter due to density differences.
Convection in boiling water
Heated water molecules at the bottom rise, while cooler and denser molecules from the surface sink, creating convection currents.
