Crash Course Physics #37: Maxwell's Equations and Electromagnetic Waves
In the early 1800s, Michael Faraday showed us how a changing magnetic field induces an electromotive force, or emf, resulting in an ecectric current. He also found that electric fields sometimes act like magnetic fields, and developed...

Khan Academy: Thin Film Interference Part 1
Thin-film interference occurs when light waves reflecting off the top and bottom surfaces of a thin film interfere with one another. This type of interference is the reason that thin films, such as oil or soap bubbles, form colorful...
