Conservation of Energy in Waves

Curated by ACT

High school teacher Kate Nichols explains that wave energy is equal to the amplitude of a wave. Looks at different scenarios where we may notice that wave energy is being conserved or not. The conversion of wave energy into another type of energy is discussed, what happens when waves interfere with each other, and what happens when a wave hits a boundary of two materials. The concepts are clearly presented with lots of illustrations and examples. [8:49]
