Some light quantum mechanics (with MinutePhysics)
An introduction to the quantum behavior of light, specifically the polarization of light. The emphasis is on how many ideas that seem "quantumly weird" are actually just wave mechanics, applicable in a lot of classical physics.

TED-Ed: The infinite life of pi - Reynaldo Lopes
The ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter is always the same: 3.14159 and on and on (literally!) forever. This irrational number, pi, has an infinite number of digits, so we'll never figure out its exact value no matter how...

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

Mechanical and Electromagnetic Waves
In this video Paul Andersen compares and contrasts mechanical and electromagnetic waves. Both types of waves transfer energy through oscillations but mechanical waves requires a medium. Several examples of each type of wave are included.

Bell in a Vacuum
We look at how a vacuum affects how sound travels. An alarm is set off and placed under a bell jar. The air is removed from the jar to create a vacuum. We can still see the hammer of the alarm clock moving, but cannot hear the sound....
