What Math Classes Do Engineers (and Physics Majors) Take?
This is a more technical video that describes the calculus classes you will take as an engineering (and physics major) in undergrad.
Regardless of what type of engineering discipline you choose, you will take mostly...

Wave Model of an Electron
The wave model of the electron can be used to explain the Bohr model. Electrons are found in certain orbits because they interfere with themselves and create standing waves. When the wavelengths don't match up with a whole integer they...

Transverse and Longitudinal Waves
In this video Paul Andersen compares and contrasts transverse and longitudinal waves. Waves carry energy through oscillations. In transverse waves the oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of the wave and in longitudinal they...

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.

Matter as a Wave
In this video Paul Andersen explains how matter can act as a wave at the nanoscale. Louis de Broglie showed that the wavelength of matter can be calculated using the momentum of an object and Planck's constant. The Davisson-Germer...

Wave Energy
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the energy of a wave if directly related to the amplitude of a wave. The wave energy of a sound wave is the volume of the wave.

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 Superposition
In this video Paul Andersen explains how waves interact when moving through one another. Unlike particles waves can interfere both constructively and destructively. The amount of interference is determined through the superposition...

Wave-Particle Duality - Part 1
In this video Paul Andersen explains the wave-particle duality discovered by scientists. In certain situations particles (like electrons and photons) display wave like properties. This phenomenon can best be explored using the double...

Wave Function
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the location of matter can be determined at the nanoscale using the wave function. The absolute value of the wave function can be used to determine the probability of finding matter in a...

Wave Interference
In this video Paul Andersen explains how waves interact with objects and with other waves. When a wave hits a fixed object it will be reflected and inverted. When a wave hits a free object it will be reflected without being inverted. ...

Electromagnetic Waves
In this video Paul Andersen details the characteristics of electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves that can move through both mediums and vacuums. The electric and magnetic fields oscillate perpendicular to...

Wave Equation
In this video Paul Andersen explains how a sine or cosine wave can describe the position of the wave based on wavelength or wave period. A wave function can the position of a wave as a function or the amplitude and wavelength or the...

Traveling Waves
In this video Paul Andersen explains how traveling waves move through space and time. The reflection and interference of traveling waves can create standing waves which appear motionless. Examples of traveling waves in one and two...

Wave Period and Frequency
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the period is the time between wave and the frequency is the number of waves per second. Period is measured in seconds and frequency is measured in Hertz. Wave period and wave frequency are...

Wave Speed
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the wave speed measure the speed of a wave through a medium. The medium determines the speed of the wave. The velocity of the wave is equal to the product of the wavelength and the frequency of...

Standing Waves
In this video Paul Andersen explains how standing waves are created through the reflection and interference of traveling waves. Destructive interference creates areas of no movement called nodes. Constructive interference creates areas...

Wave-Particle Duality - Part 2
In this video Paul Andersen explains how classical waves (like light) can have particle properties. Albert Einsetein used the photoelectric effect to show how photons have particle properties.

Wave-Particle Duality of Light
In this video Paul Andersen explains how light can be treated as both a particle and a wave. Physicists use scale to determine which model to use when studying light. When the wavelength of light is equivalent to the size of the object...

Diffraction Effects
In this video Paul Andersen explains how diffraction can be affected by the size of the wavelength. When waves pass through an opening or move around an obstacle a shadow region is created. The size of the shadow zone will decrease as...
