 Hello and welcome back to another episode of Physics Partner. Today, we embark on a journey through time and space to explore the mesmerizing concept and application of the Foucault pendulum. The Foucault pendulum named after the eminent French physicist Lyon Foucault is a remarkable device that enables us to visualize the Earth rotation. Its ingenious design and elegant mechanism demonstrates the interconnectedness of science, maths and philosophy. Lyon Foucault unveiled his masterpiece in 1851, captivating the world with his innovation. By suspending a long heavy pendulum from a fixed point and settling it in motion, he discovered an extraordinary phenomenon. You see as the Earth rotates, beneath the pendulum its path appears to shift gradually over time. This apparent deviation is due to the rotation of our planet, concept known as Coriolis effect. The Coriolis effect, a product of the Earth rotation, causes the plane of the pendulum swings to rotate slightly clockwise or counterclockwise depending on the latitude. But the Foucault pendulum's significance extends far beyond mesmerizing demonstration of the Earth rotation. It has profound implications in various fields of study including physics, astronomy and even philosophy. From determining the latitude of a specific location, with astonishing accuracy to providing evidence of Earth rotation, the Foucault pendulum has revolutionized our understanding of our place in the cosmos. As we conclude this captivating exploration of the Foucault pendulum, we stand in of its historical significance, scientific importance and ongoing applications.
