In this video Paul Andersen explains how the amplitude of a wave is a measure of the energy of the wave. He gives several examples of wave amplitude and shows you how to calculate the wave of a transverse and longitudinal wave.

Mr. Andersen introduces the concept of waves. Both transverse and logitudinal waves are described. The relationship between wave speed, wave frequency and wavelength is also included.

In this video Paul Andersen explains how the energy of a wave if directly related to the amplitude of a wave. The wave energy of a sound wave is the volume of the wave.

In this video Paul Andersen details the characteristics of electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves that can move through both mediums and vacuums. The electric and magnetic fields oscillate perpendicular to...

The useful glare-blocking properties of polarized sunglasses are well-known to just about anyone who goes outside. What isn't so well-known is how they reduce glare in the first place. That answer is deceptively complicated!

In this video Paul Andersen compares and contrasts transverse and longitudinal waves. Waves carry energy through oscillations. In transverse waves the oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of the wave and in longitudinal they...

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

The video explains two important features of a wave: the frequency and the time period. It uses a visual representation of a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave to show the peaks, troughs, amplitude, and wavelength of a wave. The...

This video is a lecture about waves, specifically transverse and longitudinal waves. The speaker defines what a wave is and explains how it transfers energy without any matter being transferred. The video then delves into the differences...

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

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...

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.

Using real world demonstrations and colorful graphics, Real World Science: Light teaches students the different properties of light, pertinent definitions and how light travels. Students will learn how different mediums can affect light,...
