Useful HSC Physics videos. (1 Viewer)

This site is awesome and has some great HSC Physics videos:

http://www.hscphysics.edu.au/resources


If it wasn't for this site, then one of the dot points for my option topic would never have been answered.


Also, if you are interested in a few extra-curricular videos (most don't have anything to do with the syllabus), then check out 1veratasium, minutephysics, sixty symbols, Numberphile and Periodic videos on youtube.

glesgaphysics on youtube is actually a good channel for HSC related stuff, although you have to get through a super thick Scottish accent.

Funniest educational Physics videos ever:

"You'll find solar panels on roofs collecting energy. Hah if you're in Glasgow mate unless your solar panels are collecting rain energy, then your wasting your cash."

"to make semi-conductors you have to pure them (Don't know what he says) like a right ninja, cause they have to be made in clean labs. If you sneeze a boogie in one then its pure wasted."

"Hafnium, Tantal(um), Niobium, Yttrium, Calcium which are just rubbish."

"the big black boys are the nucleus of the atom and the red boys the electrons."

"See if you ask a chemist about the (Periodic) table, they will pretend to know about potentials but not have a clue."

"On the periodic table you've got these mad-timers on the right side."

"There just kicking ad (back?) watching jeremy (?) in the mornings."

"Silicon is (?) sneaky."

"And he's like to someone else "Oh you give us one of your electrons." and he's like "alright take it"."

I approve. I wish I knew about this when I was doing my HSC

I found the AMPS site just before my trials when I did not answer a dot point and started frantically searching for it. Luckily I answered it because it popped up in my trials.

The rest are pretty random which I found last year when I would take time off studying on Friday nights by watching these youtube videos.

Glesga Physics is really entertaining and useful, though its easy to miss a few words in that accent.

I was not able to decipher many words from the Glesga Physics video...although I will admit it was entertaining. Does the narrator deliberately use such an accent for the humour effect or does he naturally have such an accent?

That's his natural Scottish accent I think. He is very humorous though in his word choice to explain things.

And the good thing is that the video is directly related to Ideas to Implementation semiconductors (even though its for some Scottish first year university students) and the LED bit is related to Age of Silicon too.

bilibili is like a Chinese youtube and has obviously a lot of Chinese videos. But it has a lot of good videos outside China too - like the great courses

- Physics and Our Universe: How It All Works: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1G441177kz/ (59 videos)

- Physics in Your Life: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1qK411d7VW/ (36 videos)

by Richard Wolfson



Physics and Our Universe: How It All Works is however supposed to be 60 videos and the bilibili version is missing one of them, video 51: Atomic Quandaries. There is a lower quality version of this on youtube here

A better quality of this one is here too: https://www.mediafire.com/file/zbh9...ks+60集【英语】+P51+51.+Atomic+Quandaries.mp4/file (296MB)

They also have associated ebooks which are attached.

bilibilis and youtubes on Einstein:

Einstein’s Legacy: Modern Physics All around You: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1gg411h79r (12 videos)

What Einstein Got Wrong: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1cW411n7yC (12 videos)

Einstein's Relativity and the Quantum Revolution:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7SdrwFSDlw&list=PLjBulz4rXhBqVCbXn1_kmctiJ_WM-fjcP

(24 videos)

Albert Einstein: Physicist, Philosopher, Humanitarian: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV12e4y157LP (25 videos)

Note the last one actually should be 26 videos. The one missing from bilibili is at https://www.mediafire.com/file/g3io...f+Princeton+--+Einstein+the+Icon.mp4.zip/file

There is plenty more too on youtube and bilibili about Einstein but these playlists are a very good start.
