Physics, Space & Chemistry
Everyday physics & science demos
Everyday physics & science demos sits within Physics, Space & Chemistry. Move between physical explanations and the observations, experiments, or engineering questions that motivate them. This selection contains 166 catalog videos from 95 distinct channels. The examples below offer specific entry points into the subject, with their own vocabulary and scope, rather than a prescribed sequence of lessons.
Recurring catalog topics include physics, veritasium, slow motion, aerodynamics, optics and experiment. These tags describe overlapping directions within the collection; an individual video may connect several of them. Recorded formats include commentary, demo, explainer, interview, lecture, music, news, other, talk and tutorial. Use those differences to choose between approaches to the subject and to compare how different contributors frame related questions.
“But why would light "slow down"? | Visualizing Feynman's lecture on the refractive index”, listed under 3Blue1Brown, is cataloged as explainer. 3Blue1Brown visualizes Feynman's lecture on the refractive index, explaining why light appears to slow down in glass and why the effect depends on color. It builds the idea from waves produced by…
“Light Waves Visualized using Photon Sieves.”, listed under Huygens Optics, is cataloged as explainer. Huygens Optics shows how DIY photon sieves shape a laser's wave front, explaining how they differ from zone plates and how aperture count affects the focal point, with time-resolved visualizations of the…
