Deriving the position equation for an object in simple harmonic motion.

Wave Motion | Waves | Physics | FuseSchool All waves can transfer energy from one place to another without transferring any matter. This is done by a series of disturbances or vibrations that carry the energy. Just like the people in...

👉 Learn the basics of graphing trigonometric functions. The graphs of trigonometric functions are cyclical graphs which repeats itself for every period. To graph the parent graph of a trigonometric function, we first identify the...

This video explains how sound waves can be displayed on an oscilloscope and how the amplitude and frequency of the waveform relate to the loudness and pitch of the sound. The video uses examples of different sound waves and the...

From a tuning fork, to a speaker in slow motion, this is a close look at what sound is. Both linear and spherical wave fronts are animated. The human audible range is demonstrated.

👉 Learn how to graph a sine function. To graph a sine function, we first determine the amplitude (the maximum point on the graph), the period (the distance/time for a complete oscillation), the phase shift (the horizontal shift from the...

Kinetic energy and elastic potential energy as functions of time graphs for a horizontal mass-spring system in simple harmonic motion are demonstrated. Conservation of energy is shown.

The video is a lecture that explains the two features of a wave, namely wavelength and amplitude. It starts with a demonstration of a transverse wave and illustrates how the wave propagates while oscillating. The peaks and troughs of the...

👉 Learn the basics of graphing a tangent and a cotangent function. To plot the tangent and the cotangent graph we choose a set of points and form a table of values with which we plot the points on the x-y coordinate axis to obtain the...

Three wave superposition multiple choice problems are presented, solved, and extended upon.

This nugget explains the parameters and mathematical derivations of a progressive wave, like amplitude, wavelength, frequency, phase, etc.

The video explains how seismographs are used to detect and record seismic waves produced by earthquakes. It describes how the seismogram created by a seismograph can help scientists determine the time, epicenter, and focal depth of an...

In this video, students learn about the transformations of sinusoidal functions by shifting their graphs horizontally and vertically. They explore how changing the values of K and H in the equations of sine and cosine functions affect...

Waves are vibrations that transfer energy from place to place without matter being transferred. Think of a Mexican wave in a football crowd: the wave moves around the stadium, while each spectator stays in their seat only moving up then...

This video discusses the properties that all waves have in common, including amplitude and wavelength. It also demonstrates how to calculate the speed of a wave using the equation v = Fλ, where v is the wave speed, F is the frequency in...

👉 Learn how to graph a cosine function. To graph a cosine function, we first determine the amplitude (the maximum point on the graph), the period (the distance/time for a complete oscillation), the phase shift (the horizontal shift from...

Deriving the velocity and acceleration equations for an object in simple harmonic motion. Uses calculus.

Bo teaches us about beat frequency. You get to hear what beats sound like, see the constructive and destructive interference wave forms, and learn a practical application of beats while tuning a guitar.

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.

It explains the characteristics of sound, namely amplitude, time period and frequency of a vibration. It talks about loudness, pitch and quality of sound.

Not all waves travel across the ocean or across the universe. Some are stuck in a certain spot! Like the vibrations of the strings on a guitar. What's the deal with these standing waves? And what's this, quantization? Oh my! We'd better...

Demonstrating when a pendulum is in simple harmonic motion.

This video reviews what harmonic motion is then provides definitions of all the components of the wave. Real world examples of simple harmonic motion are shown. Students will learn how to calculate frequency using a pendulum and a spring.

Light and sound waves do all kinds of cool stuff, because they can be in the same place at the same time, unlike matter. This creates patterns that are important to understand! Let's take a look.
