A three-part series in which ex-pop musician and physicist, Brian Cox, shares his passion for particles, the sub-atomic world and quantum mechanics. In this programme he explains why scientists from all over...
Discusses the discovery of X-rays and their implications for the newly emerging quantum theory. Shows a re-creation of Roentgen’s original experiment, a survey of the various atomic models, and a look at...
The technique of optical pumping utilises the phenomenon of optical resonance to transfer kinetic moment to atoms. For this purpose incident light is circularly polarised. One can thus concentrate the atoms...
A reconstruction of Röntgen’s laboratory where X radiation was discovered in 1885 and follows with an animated sequence explaining the nature of X-rays in terms of atomic physics. The generation of X-rays...
