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...

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.

Electromagnetic Waves | Electricity | Physics | FuseSchool You may never have heard of the electromagnetic spectrum, but you would have heard of many parts of it and use them daily. They are all electromagnetic transverse waves that...

This video is a lecture on the effects of wavelength and speed on electromagnetic waves. The speaker explains what can happen to a wave at the boundary between two media, including reflection and refraction. They also discuss how...

Upon viewing the Light video series, students will be able to do the following: List some of the reasons light is important to all living things. Understand that light is a type of energy. Describe how light behaves both as a wave and as...

The video discusses the production of electromagnetic waves from atoms and nuclei. It covers different examples of producing radio waves, microwaves, x-rays, gamma rays, infrared radiation, visible light, and ultraviolet light. The video...

This nugget explains the source, generation, properties and discovery of electromagnetic waves.

Electromagnetic waves are fundamental to understanding the nature of light and are oscillations of electric and magnetic fields that travel through space, carrying energy from one place to another. The spectrum of light is a small...

In this lecture video, the different types of electromagnetic waves are examined, and their uses and applications are explored. The video begins with an overview of the electromagnetic spectrum, starting with gamma rays and ending with...

The video explains the basics of electromagnetic waves, including their definition as transverse waves that transfer energy from a source to an absorber. It discusses the seven general sections of the electromagnetic spectrum, going from...

In this video we cover the following: - The 7 different types, and order, of the waves in the electromagnetic spectrum - The phrase ROYGBIV to help you remember the order of colours in the visible light spectrum - The inverse...

In this video Paul Andersen details the waves in electromagnetic radiation. There is an inverse relation between the wavelength and frequency of electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic radiation includes gamma rays, x-rays, infrared...

Not only do they describe every electrical and magnetic phenomenon, but hidden within these equations is a fundamental truth about the nature of light, and why it is the ultimate speed of the universe. We are going to visualize the...

Students will learn about the different frequencies along the electromagnetic spectrum. Vivid animation is used to explore the visible spectrum of light and the colors it allows us to see everyday. The video also investigates various...

Upon viewing the Light video series, students will be able to do the following: List some of the reasons light is important to all living things. Understand that light is a type of energy. Describe how light behaves both as a wave and...

The video explains how waves can be categorized according to two sets of criteria: transverse or longitudinal, and mechanical or electromagnetic. It gives examples of waves that fit each category, such as water waves as a transverse...

This lecture video discusses the health risks associated with exposure to electromagnetic waves on the electromagnetic spectrum. The video covers different types of electromagnetic radiation, from microwaves to X-rays and gamma rays, and...

What is the purpose of light? How does light work? Why does Light exist? There had been a controversy about whether light was particles or waves. Albert Einstein showed that light must come in discrete packets of energy which today we...

Why does the universe have an upper speed limit on the speed of light? Why isn’t the top limit infinite? Or what if the speed of light was not constant but changed in different reference frames? The speed of light is dependent on two...

All the light that we see are electromagnetic waves. All different wavelengths are equivalent, except that waves of higher frequencies are more energetic. The speed of all these EM waves, however, is the same. It's the maximum speed...

Excerpts from National Science Foundation Director France Córdova's remarks at the press conference announcing the first gravitational wave detection of a neutron star collision and the first time a cosmic event was seen both in...

Saturn’s rings, colored photography, and the discovery of electromagnetic waves all have have one thing in common. James Clerk Maxwell. Discover for yourself all the amazing contributions Maxwell made to science.

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.
