Conservation of Energy in Waves
High school teacher Kate Nichols explains that wave energy is equal to the amplitude of a wave. Looks at different scenarios where we may notice that wave energy is being conserved or not. The conversion of wave energy into another type...

7 Active Technology Solutions: Interference and Law of Conservation of Energy
It appears that energy is destroyed at the points of destructive interference and created at the points of constructive interference. So, the law of conservation of energy appears to be violated. But this is not correct. The energy is...
