Salmon Can Turn on Night Vision. Why Can’t We?
Most of us can only see certain wavelengths of light our entire lives. So why can salmon switch on night vision? We'll learn how they can reshape their eyes to see into the infrared.

Some light quantum mechanics (with minutephysics)
An introduction to the quantum behavior of light, specifically the polarization of light. The emphasis is on how many ideas that seem "quantumly weird" are actually just wave mechanics, applicable in a lot of classical physics.

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.

What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
The law of conservation of energy tells us that energy is neither created or destroyed - just converted from one form to another. This means that we cannot make energy from nothing and energy does not just disappear. Energy, however, can...
