Why Do Boats Make This Shape?
This video is about the "Kelvin wake" shape of water wakes behind boats - we talk about mach angle, dispersion, superposition of many waves, and how these all lead to the pattern of a wake. We don't get into Froude number though...

Doppler Effect
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the perceived frequency of a source depends on the motion of both the source and the observer. As a source approaches an observer the frequency will increase and as it moves away it will...

Wave Diffraction
In this video Paul Andersen explains how waves will diffract (or bend) around an obstacle or while traveling through and opening. Diffraction will be maximized when the size of the opening or obstacle matches the wavelength.

WHAT IS FREQUENCY OF WAVE
Frequency is the measurement of the total number of complete cycles or oscillations that a wave goes through in one second, and it is expressed in hertz (Hz). Frequency is a fundamental attribute that dictates the rate at which a wave...
