6.01 Classifications of Waves
In this video, we explore the two fundamental categories of waves and give physical examples of each.
6.02 Properties of Waves
In this video, we define the fundamental quantities associated with waves, including frequency, period, amplitude, and speed.
6.03 Sound Waves
In this video, we explore how the mathematics and concepts of waves apply to a specific type of wave: sound.
6.04 The Doppler Effect and Interference
In this video, we explore the Doppler effect, which modulates the perceived frequency of waves depending on the relative motion between source and observer.
6.05 Applications of Waves
In this video, we explore how the mathematics and concepts of waves apply in the everyday world.
7.01 Electric Charge
In this video, we define electric charge, conductors, and insulators.
7.02 Coulomb's Law
In this video, we define Coulomb's law and examine the interaction between two stationary, charged particles.
7.03 Electric Field
In this video, we define the electric field and field line conventions.
3.01 Distance and Displacement
In this video, we explore the difference between distance traveled (an example of a scalar) and displacement (an example of a vector), and we review some basic vector math.
3.02 Average Speed and Average Velocity
In this video, we explore the difference between speed and velocity, and their relationship to distance and displacement.
3.03 Kinematic Equations in One Dimension
In this video, we introduce the three primary kinematics equations and apply them to one-dimensional problems. The term "acceleration" is also introduced.
3.04 Kinematic Equations Graphical Analysis
In this video, we analyze hypothetical experiments by graphing position, velocity, and acceleration versus time, qualitatively.
3.05 Kinematic Equations in Two Dimensions
In this video, we apply the three primary kinematic equations to projectile motion problems.
3.06 Relative Motion
In this video, the inherent (classical) relativity of velocity measurements is explored, qualitatively and quantitatively, in both one and two dimensions.
1.01 The Nature of Science
In this video, we discuss the underlying philosophy of science.
1.02 Scientific Ethics
In this video, we discuss the ethics and morality required in the responsible practice of science.
1.03 Impact of Science
In this video, we discuss how science affects our lives.
2.01 Laboratory Safety
In this video, we review lab safety procedures.
2.02 Measurement and Error
In this video, we review the proper ways to measure quantities and how to account for errors due to measurement.
2.03 The International System of Units
In this video, we discuss the use of and importance of the International System of Units (SI).
