Harmonic motion and waves
Description
Section one of this program sheds light on the behavior of springs and pendulums undergoing simple harmonic motion, illuminating the application of Hooke's Law and the formula for calculating oscillation. In section two, physics experts like "Working Joe" discuss wave terminology, principles such as periodic waves, and wave types, including transverse, longitudinal, and surface waves. Examples using rope, a radio, and an electric guitar reinforce these fundamentals.
