We create a Rubens\u2019 Tube to demonstrate the movement of sound waves. A tube lined with holes is filled with propane and connected to a speaker. We light the gas coming from the holes and play different frequencies and volumes of...

Discover the characteristics of sound waves, including wavelength, frequency, and pitch. Learn about the Doppler effect and its impact on sound perception. Explore how acoustics influence building design and sound...

Learn about the different types of waves, including transverse and longitudinal waves. Understand how these waves move through different mediums and their properties. Discover the speed of sound and how it varies depending on the...

Wave Motion demonstrates the difference between transverse and longitudinal waves in terms of motion and energy.

When you hear the roar of traffic, the bark of a dog, or your teacher's voice, you are experiencing sound. This program uses colorful animations to explore important characteristics of sound, including intensity, loudness, pitch, and...

It explains transverse and longitudinal waves, talks about crest and trough and compression and rarefaction and explains that sound waves are longitudinal waves.

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.

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...

Helping children relate to the topics they study is what the Real World Science series of videos does best. Real World Science: Sound helps students learn the principles of sound, the range of human hearing and significant terms, as they...

Upon viewing the The Nature of Waves video series, students will be able to do the following: Define waves as traveling disturbances that carry energy through matter or space. Explain that waves do not actually move matter. Instead,...
