  Waves

  • Completed Notes URL
  • Intro to Waves Khab Academy URL

    A good although lengthy explanation of the difference between a transverse and a longitudinal waves.
  • Diffraction in Ocean Waves URL

    This video talks about "refraction" of ocean waves but gives a good visual display of what we are calling "diffraction" in ocean waves.  Key spot is between 1st and 2nd minute of the video.

  • The Original Double Slit Experiment URL

    Watch especially around the 4.5 minute mark where he shows waves being generated in a pond as it is a great visual of what we need to know.

  • Standing Waves On A String URL

    Shows the different harmonics of a standing wave produced by a frequency generator.
  • Standing Waves Taught by Brightstorm URL

    Explanation of Nodes, Antinodes and their presence in stringed instruments
  • Making Standing Water Waves URL

    Standing Water Waves are produced in a wave pool. Nice demo. No explanations given.
  • Diffraction and 2 Point Source Interference Patterns URL

    A GREAT explanation of concepts we have learned even if it is a bit deeper than the level we have learned.  Not all of what is shown in the ripple tank is easily visible on the video.  Some great real world examples.
