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 explains how sound waves are created and perceived. A brief discussion of pitch and loudness are included. A generated sound of varying pitches 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.

This video explains how sound waves can be displayed on an oscilloscope and how the amplitude and frequency of the waveform relate to the loudness and pitch of the sound. The video uses examples of different sound waves and the...

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...

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Philosopher George Berkeley asked this famous question in 1710, and people are still debating it. Where is the forest located. How is sound defined? What...

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,...

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...

Characteristics of a Wave explores the characteristics of a wave by defining the terms wave, amplitude, crest, trough, wavelength, and frequency.

Pupil outcome: I can explain how sound waves cause sounds to be heard, and describe the range and limits of human hearing. Key learning points: - Sound waves cause our eardrums, tiny bones within our ears, and the cochlea to vibrate. -...

Waves transfer energy from one place to another. You should already know how to describe them in terms of frequency, wavelength and amplitude In this video we’re going to look at the two ways they can be classified. Waves are produced as...

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...

In the study of waves, amplitude is the maximum displacement of a wave from its rest position. A Twig Science Glossary Film. Key scientific terms defined in just 60 seconds using stunning images and concise textual definitions. Twig...

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,...

It explains the characteristics of sound, namely amplitude, time period and frequency of a vibration. It talks about loudness, pitch and quality of sound.

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...

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...

This video explores the characteristics of waves. It explains the speed of waves, how this value is calculated and the four basic interaction between waves. Other terminology includes: vibration, crest, trough, amplitude, wavelength,...

In this video Paul Andersen describes some of the properties of waves. He starts be identifying particles and waves as the only phenomenon that can transfer energy from place to place. He identifies the defining characteristics of waves;...

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.

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...
