The relationship between wavelength and frequency is determined. The number of waves, wavelength, and wave speed at each standing wave frequency is determined. The wave speed is measured independent from the standing waves.

The video explains the basics of electromagnetic waves, including their definition as transverse waves that transfer energy from a source to an absorber. It discusses the seven general sections of the electromagnetic spectrum, going from...

The equation for the harmonic frequencies of stringed instruments is derived. Harmonic numbers and fundamental frequency are defined. A guitar is used to demonstrate harmonic numbers.

The video is a lecture that explains the two features of a wave, namely wavelength and amplitude. It starts with a demonstration of a transverse wave and illustrates how the wave propagates while oscillating. The peaks and troughs of the...

This nugget explains the parameters and mathematical derivations of a progressive wave, like amplitude, wavelength, frequency, phase, etc.

Development of Quantum Mechanics: Photoelectric Effect Example 1

When standing waves are allowed at 15, 30, and 45 hertz on a string, then we should not see a standing wave pattern at 22 hertz. Yet, we do in this demonstration. This explains why.

Waves are vibrations that transfer energy from place to place without matter being transferred. Think of a Mexican wave in a football crowd: the wave moves around the stadium, while each spectator stays in their seat only moving up then...

Reflection with and without inversion caused by fixed and free ends are demonstrated. Standing wave patterns at 5 different frequencies are demonstrated. A standing wave animation is shown to understand to how standing wave patterns are...

This video discusses the properties that all waves have in common, including amplitude and wavelength. It also demonstrates how to calculate the speed of a wave using the equation v = Fλ, where v is the wave speed, F is the frequency in...

Lasers are known to burn things, fix eyes, and dance on powerpoint presentations. But they can also be used to cool objects to some of the coldest temperatures in the universe.

Surf's up, dudes! Somehow ocean waves got the illustrious honor of being simply called "waves", but there are tons of other kinds of waves, like light and sound. How do they work? We gotta know this stuff! Let's learn about waves together.

Take a look at a bubble and you’ll see all the colors of the rainbow... right? WRONG. Bubbles are actually missing colors!

Discover the mysteries of the solar system through the eyes of the Lucy mission and its team members. This first episode features Deputy Principal Investigator Cathy Olkin, who discusses Lucy's journey out...

The equation for the speed of a wave is derived. The fact that amplitude, frequency, and wavelength do not affect wave speed is demonstrated. Two different solutions for wave speed are demonstrated.

Look, up in the sky, it's a particle! It's a wave! Actually it's both. It's light! How do we know about this stuff? Well, because of Einstein for one. He did more than E = mc^2, you know. But don't stare at the sun to see for yourself,...

Not all waves travel across the ocean or across the universe. Some are stuck in a certain spot! Like the vibrations of the strings on a guitar. What's the deal with these standing waves? And what's this, quantization? Oh my! We'd better...

Light and sound waves do all kinds of cool stuff, because they can be in the same place at the same time, unlike matter. This creates patterns that are important to understand! Let's take a look.

X-Rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and have a wavelength of about the diameter of an atom. Because of this small wavelength they are able to penetrate healthy tissue but are absorbed by denser material like bone and metal....

Optical physics. Explaining and what Refraction, total internal reflection and dispersion is. Refraction is the bending of the light rays path, when it passes a new medium. When the index of refraction is greater in the new medium and...

Overview of interference using the example of sound waves.

Learn about the causes of tsunamis, their characteristics, and the destruction they can cause. Tsunamis are a form of natural disaster where a huge wave or waves form. Understand the importance of preparing for these powerful storms, as...

An introduction to IR spectroscopy.

Refraction Set: 1. This clip explains the phenomenon of light refraction.
