SPIN in QUANTUM MECHANICS - Tutorial series on Spin [Part 1]
#QuantumPhysics #Spin #lecture
In this video, I introduce spin as a quantum degree of freedom by discussing Stern Gerlach experiment in its most simple terms.
This video explains why spin in quantum mechanics should be thought of as an angular momentum.
I also motivate in what manner Quantum Mechanical spin is strikingly different from classical spin. In the end, I hope to establish a good hold on the fact that spin is an intrinsic form of angular momentum with no classical counterpart (analog).
