Dive into an extensive 11-hour video series exploring the fascinating world of waves in physics. Gain a comprehensive understanding of both transverse and longitudinal (mechanical) waves through detailed explanations and numerous example problems. Begin with introductory concepts in transverse waves, then progress to key topics such as wavelength, frequency, and speed. Explore energy transfer, the general differential equation of waves, superposition, and interference. Delve into phasors, standing waves, and resonances before transitioning to longitudinal waves. Investigate the speed of sound, interference in sound waves, intensity, and sound levels. Discover the physics behind musical sounds, beats, and the Doppler effect. Conclude with advanced concepts like supersonic speeds, shock waves, and electromagnetic waves, including energy transport, the Poynting vector, force and pressure, and polarization.
