Wave Amplitude
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the amplitude of a wave is a measure of the energy of the wave. He gives several examples of wave amplitude and shows you how to calculate the wave of a transverse and longitudinal wave.

Wave Mechanics
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.

National Science Foundation: Science of the Summer Olympics: Designing a Fast Pool
Scientists explain the engineering that went into the design of the London Aquatics Center for the 2012 Summer Olympics. In order for swimmers to perform their best, the waves are minimized using features that absorb the wave energy. [4:43]
