The programmme presents key concepts of mechanics and light, employing high quality graphics and animations, live footage and worked examples of relevant formulas. Conveniently structured in short clip...
Video, audio and software package comprising 83 self-study modules for introductory physics and related mathematics. It is designed as a resource from which a variety of flexible-entry, self-study courses...
A simulation program illustrating the result of combining two general simple harmonic travelling waves. It allows the student to explore a variety of phenomena caused by wave superposition and is combined...
Looks at wave physics and explains how the shape and depth of the bay plays a key role in determining the shape of a wave. Also shows how a better understanding of physics is allowing improved surf-boards to...
Support video for course ST291, comprising five older programmes. [For details of parts 1, 4 and 5, see individual programme synopses.]
Discusses the mechanisms, characteristics and behaviour of (non-light) waves travelling through matter. Examines: transverse waves, tension waves (ripples, gravity waves, longitudinal or push waves, shear...
Shows wavemaking facilities built at Edinburgh University Department of Engineering in connection with the Edinburgh Wave Power Project. The wide tank (30 metres wide scaled to represent 3km of ocean) with a...
A display of the time-dependent Gaussian wave function describing a free non-relativistic particle, and of the supporting mathematical concept necessary for the development of the spreading packet.
The Schrödinger equation is introduced by presenting the historical development of quantum theory. The solution for a particle-in-a-box, the harmonic oscillator, and the hydrogen atom are discussed in...
Part 1 (1978): A ‘meditation’ on the meaning of De Broglie waves. Part 2 (1978): A ‘meditation’ on the meaning of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Part 3 (1975): A straightforward solution of a...
